gaps:
i removed IPT, after they grab lots of Sibiu points, so they will be promoted for sure.

COFIDIS are now in a dark hole.
nothing works for them and ARKEA start to threaten their wildcard option.

promotion gaps:
gaps-15-7-thick.png

COFIDIS continue their awful TDF, while PICNIC is getting away from them, and even UNO-X.
so most likely we will see ARKEA and COFIDIS being relegated by the end of the season.

wildcards gaps:
wc-gaps-15-7-thick.png


the wildcard battle is probably going to heat up at the Vuelta, because the Q36.5 will be there with tom peacock.
meanwhile COFIDIS gap to ARKEA has been reduced more in the past week.
UNO-X will most likely get the first wildcard.

I think UnoX can pass Cofidis even during the tour, but I think they won't catch intermarche, who will be on the hotseat after the tour

Intermarche, and Cofidis have the benefit of riding more races then Uno-X, and Girmay can score a lot of points in the sprints for Intermarche.
Uno-X will get the wildcard for sure , so they are going to be OK, in any case.
Cofidis they will have the TDF invite in any case, and they are kind of used to be a PRO team.
i believe the 2 Swiss team will get the additional wildcards eventually.
the increase of number of teams participating in GT to 23, and auto wildcards, kind of relaxed this competition, and really there isn't much of a different between the rich PRO teams, and the poor World tour teams.

Entire upper echelons of cycling randomly cracking and UNO-X, Picnic and Arkea somehow ending up involved in a TDF podium battle

Uno x will get in over Cofidis at this race. But yeah it just does not matter anymore at all.

It really is more beneficial to be Pro Team from now on. There isnt even stress anymore to miss a WC

with Vaquelin already strongly rumored to Ineos, I don't think Arkea has a chance to survive.

TDF:

18 WT (I hope PicNic stays in)
3 auto wild cards: Cofidis, Uno-X, Tudor
2 invitations: Total, Q36/Unibet

Again you're not taking into account that either Intermarche of Lotto's license disappears. Either Cofidis or Uno X will be WT. Tietema will actually get their Tour WC if Arkea folds.

You got Astana there twice. If Lotto and Intermache merge than Cofidis or UNO X will/can get the 18th place in the WT, opening space for an additional automatic WC and invitation.

UNO-X is closing the gap on COFIDIS, but PICNIC are doing better.
XDS just passed Intermarche.

In 2026, the UCI WorldTour license currently held by Intermarché-Wanty will likely be sold, as they are merging with Lotto, who will retain their own license. This merger means the Intermarché license will be available for purchase by another team.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Merger:
    Intermarché-Wanty and Lotto are in advanced talks to merge their teams.
  • License Transfer:
    If the merger proceeds, the new team will operate under Lotto's existing license.
  • License Sale:
    The Intermarché-Wanty license, currently held by the team, will be available for sale.
  • Potential Buyers:
    Teams like Cofidis, Tudor, and Q36.5 are mentioned as potential contenders for the license, potentially to avoid relegation or to gain a WorldTour spot.
  • Rider Movement:
    If the merger happens, all riders currently under contract with Intermarché-Wanty would become free agents for the 2026 season.
