Stronger line ups in smaller races gives them a chance to attract sponsors and survive. For years we saw a WorldTour focused approach with a declining calendar. New races seem to be appearing and that can only be good for the sport.

The UCI points system is broken but it’s a stage race vs 1 day race issue. Win 2 x WT 1 day race and you get the same points as 1st GC TDF. A 1.1 is the same as a stage in TDF. However it s an impossible task to create a fair system for everybody

For years I only rode WorldTour races because only WT points counted and slowly the small races started to die. The big points are still in the most important races. If you can’t score points in WT races do you deserve a WT license anyway?

After winning 3 stages and the GC in the Tour of Norway, Remco Evenepoel has now reached the 30 pro wins milestone.

Peter Sagan had the same number of wins at this point in his career. Will Remco keep up with the pace of the three-time world champion? pic.twitter.com/3bEP0mvFCQ

Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert is, at this point of the year, 5.400 UCI points ahead of its 2021 record.

In fact, the team has already accumulated more points than in the entire previous year. pic.twitter.com/i3akazm8qN
