The Giro d'Italia greatly benefited teams like Picnic-PostNL and XDS Astana, while it severely hindered Cofidis and Arkéa-B&B Hotels in the WorldTour relegation battle. Cofidis, starting with a large points deficit, ended the race with only 15 points from their underwhelming finish, significantly worsening their standing as they now sit 183 points below the top 18 in the UCI rankings. Other teams, especially XDS Astana, capitalized on this opportunity, enhancing their positions. The pressure mounts on Cofidis as they face crucial upcoming races to secure their place in WorldTour competition.
Cofidis, starting 33 points outside the top 18 in UCI rankings, scored just 15 points at Giro d'Italia, deepening their relegation woes.
Picnic-PostNL's decent Giro performance secured them 512 points; however, they still trail behind XDS Astana, who now occupy 17th place.
