UCI Points system

the gaps this week are still narrowing a lot because of UNO-X great comeback.
COFIDIS and PICNIC got even closer.
relegation battle between the two, might be decided by the fines each team will get...

Thanks for efforts of these graphs. I think they are improved without the two "gap" series you had earlier.
Can you make the lines slightly thicker? That makes it easier to map the data series to the legend.

Syritsa's points do not count.

Thats my whole point. Syritsa is scoring points while Su is nowhere to be seen. Not even as a valuable donkey.

Su is the most valuable Astana rider. Without him there would not be Chinese money and the team would be set to relegate at the end of the season.

UAE Tour worth 500 points next year
Guangxi, Copenhagen, Cadel Evans, etc. 400

Ah and XDS had to think 6 months about this obligation and came up with it after the team was full?

i'm curious:
which team would you like to see relegated and which team promoted?

I'm indifferent. I just enjoy the battle.
I was most interested in following Astana after they got new sponsors last year. They were so far back, but not impossibly distant, that I thought with would be fun to track their progress. Would they make a big enough investment to get the job done?

relegated: Cofidis (so that they'll skip the Giro) and Arkea (they'll fold)

Uno-X is fine as a pro-conti

let's imagine the TDF 2026, 23 teams

18 WT
Uno-X, Tudor, Cofidis guaranteed
Total (or what it'll be called) and the last spot between Tietema and Q36.5


also it would be nice if both Uno-X and Cofidis skipped the Giro

 

[AupaPyama]

Its better if UNO X skips the Vuelta (if they even skip a race at all because their talented riders will become better with a GT under their belt) because Cofidis wouldnt.

 

[aruipksni]

sadly UNO-X cannot take a part in La Vuelta (which is going to be a huge points grab for small teams) , because the way they are going they could have pass a lot of teams including PICNIC and even WANTY and even JAYCO. i bet they will try hard in the coming tour, but there are not a lot of points to give away when POGI is around.
however i can still see a large probability for UNO-X to actually qualify this years.
