This has been a breakout and breakthrough year for the Uno-X Mobility men\u2019s team, which won 23 races in 2025 and needs only UCI approval to become the first Norwegian team to ride in cycling\u2019s elite level, the WorldTour. Officially, the team finished 19th in the UCI\u2019s Technical Team Rankings, and only the top 18 teams are eligible for WorldTour status.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, according to Cyclingnews, the team that finished 18th, Intermarch\u00e9-Wanty, did not apply for a license for next year in expectation that its pending merger with Lotto will be approved. That makes Uno-X Mobility one of three Pro-level teams \u2013 along with the post-merger Lotto Cycling Team and Israel\u2013Premier Tech (riding as Israel Cycling Academy) \u2013 to be promoted to WorldTour status.<\/p>\n

Better late than never<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is a well-deserved reward for a team that has consistently punched above its weight and has been one of the brightest and most entertaining teams in the peloton, regardless of the race. Fittingly, its promotion \u2013 should it pass the other UCI requirements \u2013 was definitively achieved on the final day of the season with Sakarias Koller L\u00f8land\u2019s victory in the one-day Veneto Classic, a victory worth 200 points. In addition, Fredrik Dversnes finished seventh in the race, adding 35 points. Coming into the season\u2019s final day, Uno-X led Cofidis by only 210 points. L\u00f8land\u2019s first professional win and Dversnes\u2019 top-10 finish widened the gap to an unassailable 397 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is incredible,\u201d L\u00f8land said after the race. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take a while for this to sink in. I had a good feeling before the start today, and I\u2019m so happy that we managed to finish the job.\u201d<\/p>\n

A celebratory message on the team\u2019s website declared, \u201cThis is the moment we\u2019ve dreamed of for years. A goal set when we first took our place in the professional peloton \u2013 to become the first Scandinavian setup with both men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams at the top level of world cycling. Now, it\u2019s a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
