Absolutely no point in looking at Astana anymore. They will probably be in the top 15 at the end of the year.

It's between PicNic and Cofidis, and if PicNic just performs for one or starts actually caring about this they should be better than Cofidis.

Cofidis probably also the only team there who could easily survive being a Pro Team. Sure it isn't good for them, sure sponsors want WT, sure it will be harder to get some riders, but they are always certain of a Tour Wild Card (and probably a lot more races) even if they don't get guaranteed wildcards (and they will).

Will be interesting to see how hard Uno-X will dominate their own 1.2 races in Norway. In the past it was the development team that went there but I suppose they feel they need to represent on home turf by participating. Those races still give 40-30-25-20-15-10-5-3-3-3 points for the top 10 so you can get a pretty big haul by putting 3 riders in those top 5-6 places.

Vuelta as well since they are sponsors of the race. I'm not as high on Picnic as you anyways. Think it will be a close call.

I've been concerned about Intermarche in the early season, but they have added some races and finally taken quality riders to farm points (they should take a lot of points in Morbihan, Tro-Bro and the Dunkirk races), so barring disaster I think they are fine.

Uno-X have gained 924 points on Cofidis so far this season. They have to gain 1895 points more to pass them, which looks very hard but not totally impossible.

Uno-X will take part in the Dunquerqe races next week, but not with a great squad. I think any real GC result will not be possible. More or less the rest of the team will head to altitude and they will not race again until Tour of Norway starts 29.05. Even if Cofidis have a bit of a weak team in the Giro I would assume Cofidis can grow the gap to well over 2000 before Uno-X comes back into racing. And that will be very hard to gain, as every week passing by is one week less to catch the gap.

For what it's worth (nothing) PicNic has 10 points less than in your graph. Astana offcially passed them today.

UNO X will be hard, but yeah not impossible. Last season they were pretty insane in the second part of the season. Cort for example scored 700 points in August on his own. If he can replicate that and also score in Canada this time... They did slow down at the end of 2024 tho, if they want to have a shot at WT they will need to keep scoring points till the end this time. They gained 1700 points on Cofidis between June and October in 2024. Cofidis has a slightly better team this year tho. They did not gain a lot on PicNic, as they always are better in the 2nd part of the season than the first part. Also the reason why I think they will beat Cofidis if it's just between them.

Anyways, I honestly wonder if UNO X even want that WT, given the extra WC (and it possibly being a guaranteed one even). They are miles ahead of the other future Pro Teams. If there's one team that should be fine with Pro Team status it's them right now imo.

I think that for them it's more valuable in the hunt for sponsors than for the invites.

The problem with not being WT is that suddenly Tudor and Q36 have recruited another 5 world stars each and they get a lock on the wild card spots in a way that Uno-X would have trouble competing with from a limited recruitment pool. At least WT gives them some breathing room.

If Picnic is not WT, the 3 GC wildcards go to UNO X, Tudor and Q36.5 in 2026 (with the current standings).
UNO X shouldnt be afraid of those 2.

I wonder when UCI ranking page will start to count the results from the Giro.
For example, Mads Pedersen sits at 2597 on their page.
With the 2 Giro stage wins he should be above 3000.

Astana should be a lot closer to PicNic after the first 3 stages as well, maybe already ahead! Just a thought!
