Detunink Quickstep and Jumbo Visma, where do you stand in the World Tour Team Rankings?

Dečuninck-Quickstep has accumulated an astounding 39 wins in this short season, making them the most successful team in terms of victories, but they will be overtaken by Dutch rival Jumbo Visma in the official UCI World Tour team standings, which will be announced after the final points are tallied this week

Everyone is looking forward to the U.S. team's success in the next race.

While everyone is busy watching the results of the U.S. presidential election, the honor of being the strongest men's professional cycling team in 2020 may prove to be even closer between the two teams. on November 3, according to the UCI, Dečuninck-Quick Step won the World Tour with 9,736.16 points, while Jumbo Visma was second with 8,565 points.

Jumbo-Visma has yet to be credited with the 850 points of Sunday's Vuelta a España overall winner Primoš Roglic and the 100 points he earned for taking the green points jersey. In addition, after November 3, Roglic will receive 20 points per day for leading the Vuelta.

However, stage and jersey standings have not yet been tallied. Roglic finished second in Friday's 16th stage, while Dečuninck-Quickstep's Sam Bennett was second in Sunday's final stage in Madrid.

According to Cyclingnews' rudimentary calculations (which, in reality, we must leave to the UCI's supercomputer), Dečuninck-Quickstep would have earned about 130 points after November 3, while Jumbo Visma would have earned about 10 times that number, or about 1,300 points.

That could put Deceuninck-QuickStep ahead by one or two points. Jumbo Visma has been very successful in Grand Tours, winning the Vuelta, second in the Tour de France, and Liege-Bastogne-Liege, while Deceuninck-QuickStep has excelled in the classics, including Strade Bianche, Milan-San Remo, and second in the Tour de Flanders

However, the team has also won several other races.

But whatever the final result, Dečuninck-Quick-Step boss Patrick Lefebvre is very happy with his 39 wins this year, including Julien Alaphilippe's World Championships, Brabantspaille, and Tour de France stage wins, Lemco Evenpoel won stages and the overall at the Vuelta a San Juan, Volta ao Algarve, Vuelta a Burgos, and Tour de Pollogne, and Sam Bennett won two stages at the Tour de France and the fourth stage of the Vuelta a España

"I'm not going to say everything," he said.

"We faced many hurdles, from the pandemic that turned everything upside down to the many injuries that plagued the team, but we kept fighting, kept believing, and made the most of every situation," said Lefebvre on Sunday evening as the final stage of the Vuelta brought the curtain down on the 2020 season. Lefevere said in a press release on Sunday evening after the final stage of the Vuelta brought the curtain down on the 2020 season.

"That's why I want to congratulate everyone who worked so hard to help us stay on top: riders, staff, and sponsors. This amazing achievement is a testament to the unique mentality and DNA of the team."
