Behind, XDS Astana Team slips one spot but stays on the podium. The Kazakh squad continues to show notable consistency at this start of the season. Although it lacked the sharp impact of previous weeks, its regularity keeps it above 4,000 points, still a standout tally for a team without a real superstar in their ranks.
Team Visma | Lease a Bike is one of the most striking negative cases. Down from second to fourth, it loses two places in a week which did not suit their stage race leaders. The transition to the Classics has trimmed their scoring rate versus direct rivals, exposing a degree of dependence on more specific rider profiles.

Emphatic climbs in the upper–middle block
The Classics phase has especially favoured teams with attacking intent and depth on this terrain. Bahrain – Victorious climbs five places to fifth, while Jayco-AlUla delivers one of the week’s biggest jumps, moving up ten places to sixth.
Both squads capitalised on races like Nokere Koerse or GP Denain, where steady points can shape the overall table. These events, less high-profile than marquee stage races, become key ground for gaining positions.
Also notable is the surge from Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, into the top 10 after a nine-place rise powered by Tom Pidcock’s second at Sanremo. Their presence among the ten best briefly cracks WorldTour hegemony, underscoring the competitive value of some ProTeams early in the season.
Conversely, the big loser is Lidl-Trek, tumbling from third to fifteenth. It is one of the steepest drops on the board and reflects a week well below expectations after their excellent previous run. A similar slide hits Alpecin-Premier Tech, down eleven to 20th, counting massive losses after Van der Poel’s only 8th place at Sanremo.
