The battle to secure promotion to the men's WorldTour is set to go down to the wire this weekend, after Uno-X Mobility entered two riders to the Chrono des Nations time trial in what they admitted was "a last desperate attempt to get as many points as possible".
Uno-X currently sit 19th in the three-year WorldTour standings which, should the merger between Lotto and Intermarché-Wanty go ahead, will be enough to earn them a promotion into the WorldTour.
