After four years of SD Worx-Protime domination, FDJ-Suez dethroned the Dutch team to top the UCI Women’s WorldTeam rankings for the first time in their existence.

The team rankings are especially this year, as 2025 marks the end of a two-year promotion and relegation system for the Women’s WorldTour. Only teams ranking high enough at the end of the 2024-2025 season will be eligible for a WorldTour license for the 2026-2027 period.
