This season concludes the TRIENIO 2023-2025that will determine the promotions and descents of the highest category of cycling. A fierce struggle between the equipment to add UCI points and thus achieve one of the 18 UCI Worldteam licenses and thus avoid the descent to the Second Division, with the restrictions at the calendar level that this implies.
Today, and with half of the year elapsed, the fight is red. Currently, the Team Picnic PostNL Mark the cut in the 18th place with 21252 points. Above, two proteam teams have the ascent very struggling. This is the Lotto (10º, with 28705 point) and the Israel-Premier Tech (14º, with 24753). In the quiet area it is also Movistar Team (13th, with 26009 points), which after suffering in the previous triennium, has significantly improved in this.
All open in the low zone
If the season will end today, Arkéa-B&B Hotels (21st, with 18264 points) and Astana Team (19th, with 21092 points), they would lose the category. However, the Kazakh team is starring in a spectacular comeback to try to save. At the beginning of the year they added 13563 points, to practically 5000 of salvation. A disadvantage that have reduced to less than 200 points. Astana has achieved 13 wins this season and practically 3000 points more than Team Picnic Postnl, its great rival right now to maintain the category. In it Giro de Italia It presents a block of guarantees with cyclists such as Ulissi, Fortunato, Poels, Scaroni or Kanter to continue scratching points.
Nor can Cofidis (17th, with 21751 points). In addition to Astana, and Arkéa, alone One-X (20º, with 19651) seems to fight to rise, but with the added difficulty of being proteam and, for example, not being one of the 23 teams that will compete in the turn.
