Red Bull sit second on 23,442.65, with Team Visma | Lease a Bike third on 20,987.77.<\/p>\n<p>Decathlon CMA CGM Team occupy fourth with 18,604.32 points, while Lidl-Trek round out the top five on 16,448.40. XDS Astana Team, Bahrain Victorious, Netcompany INEOS, Uno-X Mobility and Soudal Quick-Step complete the top ten.<\/p>\n<p>Alpecin-Premier Tech sit 11th, EF Education-EasyPost 12th and <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/movistar-team\" title=\"Movistar Team\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Movistar Team<\/a> 13th, with no positional changes among those teams in the latest update.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest mover near the WorldTour cut-off is Lotto Intermarch\u00e9. The Belgian squad have climbed three places to 15th on 8,881 points, helped significantly by Lennert Van Eetvelt&#8217;s performances at the Tour of Slovakia.<\/p>\n<p>Van Eetvelt won two stages and the overall classification, delivering a major haul during a week in which Lotto also picked up points through the one-day programme.<\/p>\n<p>Team Jayco AlUla remain 14th on 9,092.20 points, while Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team slip one place to 16th on 8,849.50. Tudor Pro Cycling Team are 17th on 8,834.70, just 65.70 points behind Pinarello.<\/p>\n<p>NSN drop into increasingly tight WorldTour fight<\/p>\n<p>NSN Cycling Team have lost two places and now sit 18th on 8,769 points. That leaves them only 300.97 points ahead of Cofidis in 19th and 361.74 clear of Groupama-FDJ United in 20th.<\/p>\n<p>The whole section of the ranking remains extremely compressed. Only 473.74 points separate Pinarello Q36.5 in 16th from Groupama in 20th, while Tudor, NSN and Cofidis are all positioned within striking distance of one another.<\/p>\n<p>Cofidis, currently 19th on 8,468.03 points, occupy the final place inside the top 19, with Groupama just behind on 8,407.26. With the Montreal World Championships still to be added, another sizeable swing remains possible before the next update.<\/p>\n<p>Top-30 battle remains finely balanced<\/p>\n<p>The fight for a place inside the top 30 is also close. Team Picnic PostNL currently hold 30th on 2,382 points, but Li Ning Star have moved up one position to 31st on 2,247.33. That leaves the Chinese team only 134.67 points behind Picnic.<\/p>\n<p>Euskaltel-Euskadi have dropped to 32nd on 2,202.26, putting them 179.74 points outside the current top 30.<\/p>\n<p>The Basque team therefore remain within range heading into the final part of the season, with the arrival of Mikel Landa next year adding further significance to their push to remain eligible for Grand Tour selection under the relevant UCI criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Latest UCI team rankingPos.TeamPoints1UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG27,886.962Red Bull &#8211; BORA &#8211; hansgrohe23,442.653Team Visma | Lease a Bike20,987.774Decathlon CMA CGM Team18,604.325Lidl-Trek16,448.406XDS Astana Team14,526.717Bahrain Victorious13,160.028Netcompany INEOS11,888.939Uno-X Mobility11,299.0110Soudal Quick-Step11,077.4011Alpecin-Premier Tech10,533.7212EF Education-EasyPost9,807.2713Movistar Team9,630.7714Team Jayco AlUla9,092.2015Lotto Intermarch\u00e98,881.0016Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team8,849.5017Tudor Pro Cycling Team8,834.7018NSN Cycling Team8,769.0019Cofidis8,468.0320Groupama-FDJ United8,407.2621Unibet ROSE Rockets6,550.0022TotalEnergies6,353.6623Caja Rural-Seguros RGA4,428.0124Burgos-Burpellet-BH3,769.9125Team Polti VisitMalta3,653.1526Solution Tech Nippo Rali3,265.1827Equipo Kern Pharma2,956.9728MBH Bank CSB Telecom Fort2,505.0029Bardiani CSF 7 Saber2,457.5830Team Picnic PostNL2,382.0031Li Ning Star2,247.3332Euskaltel-Euskadi2,202.2633Roojai Insurance Winspace1,642.3334Red Bull &#8211; BORA &#8211; hansgrohe Rookies1,442.8635Modern Adventure Pro Cycling1,333.0036Madar Pro Cycling Team1,226.6637Energus Cycling Team1,200.0038Terengganu Cycling Team1,172.0039XDS Astana Development Team1,151.0540ATT Investments1,124.00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; The latest ranking does not yet include the points from the ongoing World Championships in Montreal.
