the interesting thing is that they only got half a team (15) signed for 2026 (do i smell a merger ?), and no new signing so far...
If you are looking for a merger try Alpecin. I believe they are still looking for a secondary sponsor.

Astana and Alpecin might be the most hilarious merger ever. Couldn't find too more ill fitting rostersIf you are looking for a merger try Alpecin. I believe they are still looking for a secondary sponsor.
PCS: Cofidis 50 points aheadpromotion Gaps:
Uno-x are now 19th...
PCS: Cofidis 50 points ahead
FirstCycling: Cofidis 35 points ahead
Why are there no consistency in the different rankings?
UCI only awards Vuelta points after the race is over, afaik.PCS: Cofidis 50 points ahead
FirstCycling: Cofidis 35 points ahead

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?

Is that accurate? Firstcycling and PCS have Q36 around 7000 points, while the official website have them around 10000. That's a huge difference.
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.
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.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 they have to top-30 outright, regardless of how many teams fold afterward.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
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 FantiniI think they have to top-30 outright, regardless of how many teams fold afterward.
