Picnic-PostNL men's and women's WorldTour licence initially limited to single year as full list of 2026-2028 WT teams released

The 2025 men's peloton in race action.

The UCI has released the full list of allocations of the WorldTour 2026-2028 licences, but Picnic-PostNL men's and women's WT licences are initially limited to a single year, while neither Ceratizit - as expected - nor Roland are included.

In a press release, the UCI confirmed that a total of 14 UCI Women's WorldTour licences and 18 UCI WorldTour licences had been allocated for the next three seasons. It also confirmed the registration of teams for cycling's respective second divisions, the ProTeam leagues.

This is the first time that licences have been awarded simultaneously for both the men's and women's top tiers for a uniform three-year period.
