‘Best in the world’ – UAE Team Emirates top 2023 rankings after intense season-long battle with Jumbo-Visma

UAE Team Emirates are the “best team in the world”, according to team manager Mauro Gianetti after they topped the 2023 UCI teams rankings.

Despite Jumbo-Visma having won all three Grand Tours, UAE Team Emirates have secured the top rank for the first time after a fierce season-long battle.

They achieved a 30,958-point haul, helped by Tadej Pogcar leading the individual points rankings, and Gianetti said they managed it by investing in young, future talent.
