One of the big topics in cycling coverage so far this year has been the battle for UCI points. Notoriously the 18 teams with the most UCI points accumulated from 2020 through 2022 will be the first in line to receive a WT license from 2023 through 2025. At the moment it is looking more and more likely that Lotto-Soudal will miss out on a top 18-placement, and therefore lose their WT license which guarantees the right to start in the biggest races on the calendar. They could however still receive a license if any teams decline the license or don't meet financial requirements, but it is far from optimal to have to rely on such a scenario.
