Many top teams only earn a lot at the end of a tour
Surprising: Top teams such as Movistar, Trek-Segafredo or Orica-Scott can be found at the bottom of the list. But that's not surprising, because so far they haven't been able to win a stage in the 2017 Tour de France. In addition, they are far too rarely part of escape groups to collect bonuses at intermediate ratings. Large amounts of money are paid out at the end of the Tour de France when it comes to overall rankings. With Nairo Quintana, Alberto Contador and Simon Yates, the said teams have at least potential top ten riders in their own ranks. In general, as usual, the current ranking will change significantly this year as the Tour de France progresses.
