boni seconds at leastwhat's the use for LVE to be in the attack?
That's nothing. I've reached 60 without doing a single race...De Kleijn is going to reach 31 without doing a GT
He thinks UAE tour is boring. He is just one of uswhat's the use for LVE to be in the attack?
Merlier 4He probably counts GC wins too, or the TTT in Rwanda
LVE to take over De Gendt's role as "King of the Breakaway"?what's the use for LVE to be in the attack?
Wrong, Rwanda is a UCI-race. Since when are Latour (Total Energies), winner of a stage, Froome etc members of a devo team. Israel Premier Tech, Total Energies, Bingoal, Groupama...Then it's still 9. I think he counts the Rwanda win by Lecerf but that doesn't count since it was for the devo team.

Proteams, continental teams, national teams in one race.
Whose rules? Is there any such thing as an official count of wins?
It's not about the race, it's about the team he races for in this race, which isn't the Soudal-QuickStep WT Team but their Devo team.Wrong, Rwanda is a UCI-race.

Ok, agree. But it counts for the UCI-victorys of Lecerf. I checked that on the UCI website.Just read the rules. Lecerf is riding for QS's devo team in Rwanda so the win counts for the devo team and not the pro team.
QuickStep = 9Ok, agree. But it counts for the UCI-victorys of Lecerf. I checked that on the UCI website.
That's correct.QuickStep = 9
QuickStep riders = 10
Just change the wording.
So LVE jumped to the 9th overall with 6 sec bonus. Probably will jump Carr and Foss on sunday as well, has a shot at top-3 too, need collapse of Vine and O`Connor to win.
You get some camels every now and then.There are almost no spectators at these races
Would you mind linking or citing the rule in question regarding wins?The UCI's rules. UCI points count to the team you're contracted to (so the WT team), wins to the team you're riding for at that moment (so Devo team).
So it also works like that in the opposite direction. When a Devo rider wins while riding for the pro team the wins goes to the pro team (cause that team won at the moment ofcourse), but the points stay with the rider and thus go to the devo team.
If anything, the tie-breaker indicates that those wins count for the WT team:2.10.004 bis

If there is still a tie between teams, it will be resolved by the greatest number of 2nd places, then 3rd places, etc.
