From 2027, the UCI will allow UCI Road Teams to accumulate a limited number of points from their riders’ performances in other disciplines, following a decision made at its Management Committee meeting in June.
The disciplines concerned include the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, Olympic Cross-Country (XCO) Mountain Bike, Cyclo-cross, and Gravel, as well as the overall standings of the UCI World Cups in these disciplines. These points, awarded according to a specific scale, will only benefit the UCI Road Team Ranking for the top 20 male riders and the top 8 female riders of each team, with no impact on individual or national rankings. Simulations will be conducted during the 2026 season to finalize the points scale.
A favorable decision for teams with riders like Mathieu van der Poel (current cyclo-cross and gravel world champion), Wout van Aert, or Tom Pidcock, and likely to encourage other teams to let their riders compete in other disciplines, in order to earn UCI points, which are synonymous with promotion and relegation in the WorldTour.
