00:00 Hello everyone and welcome to this new episode of the Commissaires de Course.
00:04 Today I'm going to give you a little update on the UCI ranking,
00:08 because you know that Tuesday means an update on the board's side,
00:13 and this week's update is quite big,
00:16 because it concerns the general ranking of the Tour de France.
00:20 So a lot of changes in the ranking,
00:24 a note, still the same,
00:26 UAE and Jumbo Visma are largely in the lead,
00:30 you see it, 19,000 points for UAE and 18,000 for Jumbo Visma,
00:34 and behind there is a gulf,
00:36 since there is no less than 6,000 points difference with Aeneos, which is third.
00:40 On the side of changes,
00:42 Bahrain, which is doing a very good Tour de France with several stage victories,
00:46 and the beautiful place in general of Bilbao,
00:48 wins two places, so Bahrain is fourth,
00:51 Trek is fifth,
00:53 and the beautiful Quickstep had no one in general,
00:56 she didn't do a very good Tour de France, so she loses two places,
00:59 and she logically ends up in sixth place.
01:03 Behind we find the group Amae FDJ, which remains in its place,
01:06 just like Alpecin de Quenig,
01:08 because if there are the points of Philippe Seine,
01:10 in general, the same, we had absolutely no one.
01:13 The Bora, thanks to Jane Lee, but also to Jordi Meus,
01:17 we go up quite a bit in the UCI ranking,
01:21 we enter the top 10 for the Bora in Korea.
01:24 Lotto Destini, still tenth,
01:26 first formation of the Pro Team division,
01:29 which remained, despite a Tour de France a little complicated,
01:33 we will say, with no one to play the general,
01:35 and only the points on the stages to aim for.
01:39 The eleventh place behind is EF Education Easy Post,
01:42 which also has no one for the general,
01:44 and did not succeed in its Tour de France.
01:47 On the contrary of the JCO, it is the big progression of the week.
01:51 The JCO had Groenwegen, especially on the stages,
01:53 she also had Simon Yates,
01:55 and Simon Yates has also achieved a very good general ranking,
01:58 so she does not win less than six places, the JCO Lula.
02:02 The comeback is absolutely impressive,
02:04 she was first non-relegable team,
02:07 she is now twelfth and in the belly of the ranking,
02:10 it's the big, big progression of this Tour de France,
02:13 and she looks a little quiet in terms of rankings now.
02:18 Good operation for Cofidis too, two stage wins,
02:21 and a Guillaume Martin who is in the top ten in general,
02:24 so we gain two places on the side of the coffee,
02:26 and we give ourselves a little air.
02:28 Intermarché, we continue to fall,
02:30 Intermarché, there was no one in the general,
02:32 following the abandonment of Louis Menthiez,
02:34 so we inevitably lose ground,
02:36 and we did not shine, it's more complicated.
02:39 Since the end of February for the Belgian team,
02:41 who fall as the rankings go on.
02:44 Like Movistar, who loses two places,
02:46 but not bad on the Tour for Movistar,
02:48 she lost Henrik Maes, she lost Guerrero,
02:51 she lost Pedrero, she lost Jorgensen,
02:53 so she gets away from her masters,
02:55 and finally she scores very few points on this Tour de France
02:58 because of the many falls.
03:00 Good operation for AG2R, Citroën,
03:03 who also gives a little air and goes up to sixteenth place,
03:07 thanks to Félix Galles in particular.
03:11 Loses a lot of points for Israel Premier Tech,
03:13 despite the victory of Michael Woods,
03:15 but we must say that there was no one in the general rankings,
03:18 but whatever, we continue to score points for this pro team,
03:22 which has ensured its second place in the second division,
03:26 so we should be invited on all the Grands Tours next season.
03:30 DSM, great loser of this Tour de France,
03:34 she was in the lead in sixteenth position,
03:37 she is now 18th and first non-relegable,
03:40 800 points behind Israel Premier Tech,
03:42 it's a lot for Romain Bardet's training,
03:46 who sees Arkea Samsic come back a little bit on her in terms of place,
03:51 not necessarily in terms of points,
03:53 as you can see, there is a huge gap between Arkea and DSM Firmenich,
03:57 no less than 1,503 points,
03:59 so it's really a lot and it will be very difficult to fill by the end of the year,
04:03 almost impossible, especially since the Arkea team
04:06 does not have a leader able to make a good general
04:09 at Vuelta or to win normally,
04:12 except for a big classic of the World Tour,
04:15 so Arkea should be in a relegable position at the end of the season.
04:19 The whole point will be to know what delay it will accumulate on its competitors,
04:23 DSM, Israel, AG2R, etc.
04:26 We know that BNB is coming as a partner next year
04:30 and that there will normally be more money to recruit,
04:33 but in the meantime, we will have to limit the break for Arkea.
04:37 There is still a big delay on the competition
04:40 and it is now threatened by Unex.
04:43 Unex, we don't talk about it too much,
04:45 but she did a good tour of France in her place, of course,
04:48 but she accumulated points on the stages
04:50 and she is now only 400 points behind Arkea,
04:53 so for Arkea, the threat is more behind.
04:56 We know that Unex should also strengthen next year,
04:58 with Magnus Kort and Andras Leklesund,
05:01 so there will inevitably be more points next year for Unex.
05:05 And why not try to go and tickle, like Arkea,
05:08 the 18th place of DSM.
05:11 On the Astana side, we limited the break a little
05:14 thanks to Cavendish at the beginning of the Tour de France,
05:16 but it's still very, very complicated
05:18 and we are 2,200 points behind Arkea, behind Unex.
05:24 We feel that it will be difficult for the Kazakhs.
05:28 Total Energy, completely out of play, I think,
05:30 to mount it in the World Tour,
05:33 because anyway, you see,
05:35 she is at 2,800 points of maintenance,
05:38 so it's way too much, even on two seasons,
05:40 even if it never cost a lot of good riders,
05:43 it would be, I think, too complicated to mount in the World Tour,
05:45 except if there was a break in a structure by 2026.
05:49 On the sporting level, it still seems very, very complicated.
05:53 And the big problem for Total Energy,
05:55 and it's a trend that's been confirmed for a few weeks,
05:58 is that it is now very far from Unex.
06:00 As you can see, there are 900 points of difference between Total and Unex,
06:04 so I think it's too much to have on the French Cup of France sleeves
06:09 by the end of the season if there is a way to catch up the gap.
06:12 But I don't think she'll be third pro team at the end of the season, Total Energy,
06:16 and that, consequently, she won't have any automatic invitation for the 2024 season.
06:21 So no rush, the invitations for the Tour de France are usually guaranteed,
06:25 except if there was a super structure that was being built in the coming weeks
06:28 and that was coming to make a big market.
06:30 But in any case, in terms of cause,
06:34 at the moment there is no team capable of competing with Total for the ASO invitations,
06:40 whether it's Paris-Nice, the Dauphiné or the Tour de France.
06:43 So normally there won't be any suspense, it should be a total X.
06:47 But if we want to look for invitations for the Flanders Classics,
06:51 for the Tour de Poland, etc., all the World Tour events that don't take place in France,
06:57 we'll have to show some white paper for Total Energy,
06:59 because nothing will be automatic and without Peter Sagan's presence,
07:03 it can be complicated, so that's going to be the whole problem, I think, for Total Energy.
07:08 Behind, not much to report, we're still in the same waters.
07:12 For the other pro team formations, you can see there's still a gulf
07:15 between Total and Green Project.
07:17 Ebardiani, sorry, has 900 points, so given the weakness of the...
07:20 Well, without offending them, of course,
07:22 but we can see that there is really a gap between the different pro team formations.
07:25 They don't play in the same class.
07:27 Then we have Q3635, which is quite far, then you have Bolton, Eolo.
07:31 Coratec, which thanks to a nice race in Romania, takes up three places,
07:35 so they're not doing too badly.
07:36 Coratec, its future for next year is assured on the accounting level.
07:40 We know that it's the first 50 formations that can be invited
07:45 to the three Grand Tours of next season.
07:47 So, being in the 28th at the end of July,
07:49 we're usually pretty calm on the side of Coratec.
07:53 Human Power Elf loses a place, Burgos too,
07:57 but that's the game with the rise of Coratec.
08:00 We have Terengganu, who's going up a little bit, then Bingole,
08:03 and we're going to go get our Spanish teams,
08:05 who are not necessarily in danger.
08:06 There's still room for Carahual, compared to this top 50,
08:09 since she's 35th.
08:11 Carne Farma, we're 37th, it's a little bit the same.
08:14 Then a few points behind, we have Euskaltel.
08:17 So normally, the Spanish teams should be pretty calm,
08:20 because we have 900 points at least.
08:23 And if I go a little further on the ranking,
08:25 you see the top 50 is played at 600 points,
08:29 so there's still a good margin.
08:30 Then there's Vuelta for some of them, there's the Burgos Tour,
08:34 we have the Clasica Ordisia today, there's the Castille and León,
08:37 so there are opportunities, even if it's not a lot,
08:39 to score 20, 30, 40 points here and there,
08:42 and to make sure, normally, I'd be very surprised
08:44 if there was one of these teams that wouldn't be in the top 50.
08:47 At the end of the season, especially since the 51st is China Cycling Glory,
08:51 who managed to get a nice race at home,
08:53 but she doesn't have a lot of proof to show either.
08:56 Same for the Danes of restaurant Surry.
09:00 Saint-Michel, there will be a few races, but it's going to be complicated
09:02 to go and get another 400 or 500 points.
09:05 And the same for everything we find behind, of course.
09:08 So that's it for this little point on the UCI ranking.
09:10 I hope you enjoyed it.
09:12 And we'll meet again tonight, of course,
09:14 for the debriefing of the third stage of the Tour de France Femmes.
09:17 We'll also do a little point on the news, of course.
09:19 Ciao!
