Last WT Team to get a WT Win - 2022 Edition

[RedheadDane]

Now, after DSM has - finally - napped their first win of the season, it's time to see if we can guess which team will be the last to get their first WT win.
Of course, several teams - including a few ProTeams - have already napped their first (or several) WT win(s) of the season, and after Izagirre's win on the final stage in Itzulia Basque Country, Cofidis is currently in the lead.

Will they be the last WT team to get a WT win this year? Unlikely.
Will there be any WT teams that goes without WT wins the whole year? Slightly more likely.

DSM has shown nothing promising other than SKA and Welsford, and all the other teams have one or two guys who can easily get a win at some point except maybe IPT.

Those still looking for a WT win are:

• Astana
• DCM
• Groupama FdJ
• Israel PT
• Movistar

(or have I missed something?)
Astana could easily have a winless season at WT level.

You haven't missed anything. So far, Cofidis are the last WT team to get a WT win. Of course, they're unlikely to remain the last WT team to get a WT win.

BTW, I completely forgot:

Israel PT takes the lead!

FDJ takes the lead.

DSM moves into the lead.
However, all the people who voted DSM can still be correct, all the would require is simply that neither Astana nor Movistar gets any WT wins this year.

Pretty amazing two well-known teams don’t have a WT win yet. And it seems as though their best riders at the Giro have turned out to be VAlverde and Nibali, and while I’ll be rooting for both of them neither is likely to grab a stage win.

Movistar takes the lead!

Maybe you're mixing it up with last to get a win, not WT win specifically?

Movistar wins. Astana never got in the competition.

Congratulations to those of you who voted Movistar. You win the right to pat yourself on the back and say "I'm awesome."

I always do that anyway.

You wouldn't have had the right to do so if Nibali - or some other Astana rider - had won today.

I was sweating a bit when Scaroni was away in the break.

So who was the last WT (before Astana) to not get a WT win?

Cofidis in 2020. Before that, Cannondale in 2016.

Cannoncale went almost 2years without a single WT win iirc.
