If you are looking for a merger try Alpecin. I believe they are still looking for a secondary sponsor.

There is the rumor that Thomas Silva is close to signing with Astana.
Astana and Alpecin might be the most hilarious merger ever. Couldn't find too more ill fitting rosters

Why are there no consistency in the different rankings?

Cause both aren't official rankings?
The difference is probably a penalty somewhere.
The actual (up to date) difference is 35

UCI only awards Vuelta points after the race is over, afaik.
Uno-X scores 250 UCI points in Maryland pro and leapfrogs Cofidis

Another (very) interesting to follow is the battle for guaranteed wild cards. Cofidis might be bailed out by Intermarché merging and Arkea folding, BUT Total is unexpectedly closing in on them. Only like 400 points behind them on the 2025 ranking and they are in better form right now. Cofidis could miss out on everything, even tho that won't matter for the Tour for example.
In general these new rules (3 teams guaranteed for everything) are looking more stupid every day with the amount of teams disappearing. At this rate it's looking like Tietema will really be in the Tour next year (and watch them not even be in the breaks in the flat stages cause they have Groenewegen) .

UNO X seems to be struggling a bit more and Cofidis is getting some point. Will be very interesting till the end. Apparently Cofidis asked for a late invite to Taihu Lake, they might make it if they race basically everywhere.
But like I've said before, I honestly think UNO X is still better off as a top Pro Team

Cofidis are starting to really go for points everywhere they can, about nine months too late, but with the Intermarche merger they might still steal a WT spot.
I was looking back at the posts here at the turn of 2025, and it is really remarkable what Astana have done this year. They've gone from -5k on Cofidis in 21st to +3.5k over Cofidis, and will probably overtake Jayco for 15th place. Mostly powered by Scaroni.

Based on the UCI official team ranking, Q36 have now overtaken both Uno-X and Tudor?
Is that accurate? Firstcycling and PCS have Q36 around 7000 points, while the official website have them around 10000. That's a huge difference.

Mistake by UCI. As an example, check the page for Christen: https://dataride.uci.ch/iframe/Ride...yId=22&raceTypeId=0&countryId=170&teamId=1377Based on the UCI official team ranking, Q36 have now overtaken both Uno-X and Tudor?

His points this year do not add up to his current score.
Edit: it has already been corrected. The team page now has all riders with their correct score.

It seems like UCI are on it, because just now the riders individual points got adjusted, so i guess in a couple of minutes it should be correct.Based on the UCI official team ranking, Q36 have now overtaken both Uno-X and Tudor?

Pidcock is half of all Q365 points. He may be expensive, but its worth form them.

They are 18th now: https://dataride.uci.ch/iframe/Rank...44&rankingTypeId=2&categoryId=22&raceTypeId=0
The two Swiss teams are very likely to take two of the three mandatory GT invites. Uno-X will take the third if they don't become WT.
Fierce Italian battle for 30th, will be settled in Langkawi?

I am absolutely chuffed for Pidcock and Q36.5. he and them got mocked when he signed. and BANG! there you go, lotta UCI points coming with the Vuelta podium. sweet
I think even without the Vuelta it was a decision that made a lot of sense and showed ambition. He's solidly one of the best of the rest in the Ardennes, with Skjelmose/Ciccone/Healy.

The remaining interest for me is whether Euskatel-Euskadi can pass ATT Investments for the (theoretical) 30th spot (given Lott-Intermarche merger and Arkea likely to fold). After that it'll be which Italian team misses out on the Giro and which Spanish team(s) miss out on the Vuelta

I think they have to top-30 outright, regardless of how many teams fold afterward.

Oh then they're gone. Means the pool for WC will be: TotalEnergies, Tietema, Caja Rural, Kern Pharma, Polti, Burgos and either Bardiani or Vini Fantini
