The UCI has confirmed seven of the eight Women's WorldTeams that will mark the highest level of the new two-tier team system set to launch in 2020. Absent from the list of top-tier teams is world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Annemiek van Vleuten's team 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mitchelton-Scott.

The UCI announced in August that eight teams had ꦰapplied to become a Women's WorldTeam, and Mitchelton-Scott was among those applicants. Th🃏e UCI has said that it was still evaluating the team team's application file. 

"Approval of our Men’s WorldTour and Women’s WorldTour licenses is still 'under review' due to a slight delay in one of the documents required by the UCI," a representative from Mitchelton-Scott told Cyclingnews. "This 🌄paperwork has s🔜ince been provided and all criteria is met. We expect confirmation in the next few days."

The seven teams to secure Women's WorldTeam status for the very first time after the reforms of women's cycling are Canyon-SRAM, Alé BTC Ljubljana, 🌼CCC-Liv, FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Fꩲuturoscope, Movistar Team Women, Team Sunweb and Trek-Segafredo.

The 2020 seasonꦆ marks the launch of the new two-tiered teams system that will c♔hange the landscape of professional women's cycling. The two levels of teams are classified as WorldTeams and Continental Teams.

There was much controversy and speculation as to how many women's teams could feasibly make the jump up to the top tier given the new financial requirements that include a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:minimum salary of €15,000 (employed) or €24,600 (self-employed), along with social insurances and benefits such as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:maternity leave. 

The teams must also be able to offer a fou🎀r-year sponsorship guarantee.

Boels Dolmans, which is the current number-one ranked women's team in the world, submitted an application but had it declined because it could not offer a four-year g꧅uarantee. 

The team's title sponsors, Boels Rental and Dolmans, announced at the UCI Road World Championships in September that they would 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:end sponsorship of the team after the 2020 season. The team is searchi🍬ng for new financi🅠al backing and aims to be among the WorldTeams in future.

Over the next three years, the UCI is aiming to gradually increase the n💖umber of Women's WorldTeams to 15 teams and the minimum salary requirements to equal the men's Professional Continental, which is currently set at €30,855.

Part of the new wome✨n's professional cycling reforms will also see a change in structure of events. There has previously only been one category of teams that included 46 UCI Women's Teams. The top 15 of those teams, according to the UCI World Ranking, were automatically invited to compete in Women's WorldTour events, although those teams are not obliged to accept the invitations.

The introduction of the new two-tier system and calendar called the UCI ProSeries includes four classes - UCI Women's WorldTour, UCI ProSeries, Class 1 an🐭d Class 2 - and means that top-tier Women's WorldTeams will be required to race in the Women's WorldToꦑur events. Organisers will be able to invite Continental-level teams based on UCI ranking to fill out the remaining participation spots.
