The top 10 remains almost the same, with UAE Team Emirates – XRG on top and around 500 additional points compared to the last week. It has been an unusual week for the Emirati squad, in the sense that they did not get any victory.<\/p>\n
XDS Astana Team stays in second, even if they did not have their most profitable week poits-wise. Christian Scaroni did the Faun double but was far from the victory in both occassions, with seventh as his best result. Mike Teunissen on the other hand sprinted to fifth at Kuurne – Brussel – Kuurne, obtaining 100 points.<\/p>\n Jayco AlUla barely got any points the past week, but they stay in third nonetheless, even if just 43 points ahead of Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe. The German team had Tim van Dijke as the unexpected star, as he was only beaten by Van der Poel at Omloop and secured 320 points for the squad. Jordi Meeus had solid results during the Opening Weekend as well, with two top-10 in a row that granted him 160 points.<\/p>\n In the rest of the top 10, the most notbale rise is that of Team Visma | Lease a Bike<\/a>. The Dutch team was fifteenth one week ago, but they have managed to go all the way up to seventh thanks to oustanding performances of several of its stars.On the one hand, British talent Matthew Brennan<\/a> decimated the competition with a powerful sprint at Kuurne that nobody could match, not even Jasper Philipsen, giving 250 points to the team. The day before, Christophe Laporte won the sprint group to secure a fourth place at Omloop and 220 points.In France, Matteo Jorgenson<\/a> made his season debut at Faun-Ard\u00e8che and Faun-Drome proving he is already in great shape.
