Boels Dolmans lead UCI world ranking into 2019
Boels Dolmans have topped the UCI team world ranking heading into the 2019 season with a total of 5003 points. The overall team ranking determines the UCI Women's WorldTour participation for the season, whereby the top 15 teams receive automatic invitations to stage races and one-day races.
Boels Dolmans overall points were amassed by combining the individual points from new world champion Anna van der Breggen, Amy Pieters, newly signed Jolien D’hoore (from Wiggle High5) and Christine Majerus.
Runners-up Mitchelton-Scott have 4,246 points which combines individual points from time trial world champion Annemiek van Vleuten, Amanda Spratt, Sarah Roy and Gracie Elvin.
Boels Dolmans and Mitchelton-Scott also held the top two places last year, however, there are some changes to the ranking from third place through 15th.
The newly named CCC-Liv, formerly Waowdeals, have moved up to third with 3,712 points after combining points from Marianne Vos, new signing Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (from Cervelo Bigla), Sabrina Stultiens and Riejanne Markus.
The newly launched Trek-Segafredo women’s team have settled in at fourth with 3,092 points, thanks to the points from Ellen van Dijk (formerly Sunweb), Elisa Longo Borghini and Audrey Cordon-Ragot (both formerly Wiggle High5) and Lotta Lepistö (from Cervelo-Bigla).
