UNSUCCESSFUL TEAMS

The most successful teams in cycling are pretty obvious, with DeceuninckQuick Step far ahead of the field with their 48 victories this season. Other teams, however, have struggled. DSM, Qhubeka NextHash and IntermarchéWanty-Gobert Matériaux have got almost as little as a 10th of what Deceuninck have won this year, with five victories each. They do not even have the pandemic disrupting racing as they did last year. Ag2r-Citroën are not much better, with six wins, and perennial underachievers Cofidis have seven. This is despite all of these teams being at WorldTour level.
