Last WorldTeam to get a WorldTour win 2024

[Armchair Cyclist]

*: even if some teams don't get a win at all.

Alpecin today became the 8th team to win a WT event, so the remaining 10 fit the poll capacity.

I'll stick with my pick of Cofidis from the last WT to get a win thread: they'll pick up a breakaway somewhere.

Arkea's last WT win is 2 years ago and they have like 2 in 5 years so I'm definitely going with them.

I think the question is, will they be the only WT team not winning in the WT.

I think it’ll be between Arkea, Astana, and Cofidis. Arkea have Demare and a breakaway, Astana with breakaway or Cav, and Cofidis with Zingle and a breakaway. Of those options I think it’ll be harder for Cofidis to get a win before the other two.

Demare could easily snag a win in a stage race somewhere. I think it could be Astana as if Cav doesn’t get one they don’t have someone that jumps at me for getting any win.

What if - however unlikely that seems - no other teams get a WT win? Would that mean Alpecin will have won it?

That would also be my interpretation.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Seems impossible that all three of Cofidis, Arkéa and Astana win one, so it could just be whichever of those actually pulls off a win.

Bahrain in the lead!
Or out...
Not sure how that works anymore.

Both: in the lead, but out of serious contention.

 

[RedheadDane]

Trek just leading out of serious contention.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

How long do we usually leave voting open for on this? I set it as 7 days and it runs out tomorrow evening.

 

[Potomac]

EF.

They lost last year's mojo.

 

[RedheadDane]

Nothing to see here...

 

[Anderis]

Lidl out!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Lidl out!

?

 

[RedheadDane]

?

Because EF just got a win.
Before EF, Trek - I'm gonna stick to the longest-used name - was in the lead. Now they're out.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Lidl out!

I don‘t think that counts.

No the questionmark was obviously there, because no one should ever call them Lidl

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

EF out, Intermarché in the lead (or simply next to go out) in circumstances that make the win of minimal interest, but still valid for these purposes.

 

[tobydawq]

I pick Jayco. I think they will win in the Tour after they launch a new beak.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Uh, why?

I can't call Decathlon Decathlon either?

Well I can't stop you from doing it, but I still think you shouldn't.

My rule is simple: If a sponsor has been the primary sponsor for multiple seasons, it will remain the name of the team for as long as said sponsor continues to be a title sponsor or owner of the team.
In accordance with this rule, the teams are therefore still called AG2R, FDJ, Quick Step, Trek and Wanty instead of Decathlon, Groupama, Soudal, Lidl and Intermarché.

I don't think that rule makes much sense.

I don't think that rule makes much sense.

I simply hate change.

 

[RedheadDane]

Ineos out, or in the lead, or however you wanna put it.

 

[RedheadDane]

Alpecin is really active. They want in that break.

It's way too late for them to win this, though.
