Talk:UCI World Tour

Points

If the winner of the Tour de France gets 1000 points, how come Peter Sagan was the overall winner in 2016 with 669 points?

Because that year a Tour de France victory was worth less, only 200 points I believe. - FakirNL (talk) 08:55, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

what is this?

on the article it says that UCI ProTour lasted until 2008 and then this started. but this is actually false:

The ProTour, as a system of rankings, did only last until 2008; it continues as a level for teams and as the umbrella under which a series of events is promoted. I do not believe that this article says anywhere that the ProTour has ceased: it talks about the devaluation of the Tour, but not its termination. But if there are suggestions for a rephrasing that will make this cearer, go for it. Kevin McE (talk) 08:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Paris-Tours?

Perhaps a dumb question, but why is a renowned autumn classic like Paris-Tours not included in the UCI World Tours whereas a younger and pretty much glorified criterium like Vattenfall Classic in Hamburg is? Or for instance the GP Ouest France is as well? What are the criteria to be included? Shouldn't those criteria be mentioned inn the article? -- fdewaele, 22 April 2011, 11:02 CET.

Races are in the UCI World Tour because, ummm, the UCI have included them in the World Tour. Never the most transparent organisation, the UCI have not seen fit to post their reasoning in the public forum. In the absence of this, anything we would publish would be OR, which is not our purpose. Kevin McE (talk) 10:07, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

It was never clear how the non-ProTour races were decided upon for the World Ranking and this continues for the World Tour. ProTour races applied for and were granted licences (although on what criteria?) but it was never clear for the other races. Paris–Tours is the odd-one-out in not making the transition from the original ProTour in 2005 to the World Tour. Severo^TC 10:20, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Cumulative individual totals

This recently added table, although interesting, seems to be OR. I'm not aware of any publication regularly updating such a table, and the purpose of it is undefined. Is it to be a 4/5/6 year running total, or a lifetime score? How long is the unregistered editor going to be around to update it? (I don't want to cast aspersions, but IPs generally have short longevity) If we cannot see who is just outside the top ten, we will not know who is about to break in after a good result without calculating it from scratch? How is this intended to look in 10 years time? Kevin McE (talk) 18:34, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, a nice idea, but it needs to be cited to somewhere else I think. --Pretty Green (talk) 07:30, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

2017 UCI World Tour

I've created a prospective template for the 2017 UCI World Tour given the current format we use in the article:

XyZAn (talk) 06:55, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

If you mean it to be included in this page, rather than the page that will be made for the 2017 season, it looks mainly OK (I don't think the GTs should be in another colour, and I don't think that 2012, and possibly not 2011, can be claimed as editions of the London Surrey classic), but the ASO races will need to be greyed out in the 2017 column.

But page width considerations probably mean this style of presentation is at least near to being no longer viable: probably needs to be a list of most wins/wins by nation etc. Winners of individual races will be tracked on the article for each race. Kevin McE (talk) 13:05, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Kevin McE, I meant to leave it here purely as a reminder, no doubt i'd forget about it otherwise.. As far as i'm aware and from the UCI PR the ASO races are in the WT for next year. To be honest I think there has to be a better way of representing the information - do we even need a table like this? & the colour was already present. XyZAn (talk) 14:17, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
