Last World Team to get a World Tour win 2025

[Armchair Cyclist]

Usually somebody starts this as soon as there are 10 teams left without a qualifying win, so the poll is late and the choice more limited.


Let the arguments about whether a team getting a win moves into the lead or out of contention begin!

 

[YavorD]

Picnic to be the last team to win, Arkea the only team NOT to win.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

OK, so given that we have started with only 5 teams, and given the distinction that @YavorD has made, I have added options for declaring that teams won't get a win this season, and made the poll editable (until about this time tomorrow) so that the handful of those who have already voted can include their votes for that.

I voted Astana, the irony being they will pull of the great escape without a WT win

@JDV25 may have misunderstood: he/she has picked Arkea to both finish the season without a win and be the last of these to secure a win.

Pure Genius!

Nailed it

Picnic out.
Or in the lead... I'm not sure anymore.

In the lead I think. At least if going by the logic the poll is constructed with. When next currently winless team wins, then Picnic are out.

 

[Potomac]

no no no...OUT....picnic is out

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

There used to be several people watching these, and they were updated almost immediately:

Gregoire got a stage win in Tour de Suisse to remove Groupama;
Scaroni took a Giro stage for Astana:
Intermarché and Arkea still in the battle

 

[RedheadDane]

(Damn those spaces in "World Team" and "World Tour"... )

Anyway... Arkea and Intermarché are still in the battle, so... it's all down to Guangxi.

(I don't think Lombardia is likely for either team...)

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No one voted for FDJ, but they could very well be winning this.

Wanna bet?

 

[RedheadDane]

Congratulations to FDJ for winning this.
Arkea and Intermarché didn't even get to feature.

And the sanction for not getting a WT win all season seems to be going out of existence...

Harsh world!

Now I don't know why it doesn't show up here, but I'm pretty sure we did end up betting one billion dollars which I have now won.

 

[tobydawq]

Picnic and Intermarché only won four times this season. Since I began tracking this (of course it can be looked up for earlier years, but I won't bother with that) in 2016, no teams have been below 5 wins apart from 2020 where there were way fewer races.

Abysmal seasons from both teams.

And Astana won 2 WT races and finished 4th in the yearly rankings.

Wild that FDJ took this! Kinda nuts Arkea and Intermarché got zero WT wins—didn’t expect that!

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Now I don't know why it doesn't show up here, but I'm pretty sure we did end up betting one billion dollars which I have now won.

Ha ha, only now do I realise that a team has to win at least one WT race to win this!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Nearly half the voters (8 of 18) predicted that Arkea would end up empty handed, none of them extended that pessimism to Intermarché.
