However, they remain eligible for wildcard entries as they made the top 30 in the UCI Team Rankings, and as the fourth-best ProTeam, will be invited to the one-day WorldTour events.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The road season might be at an end, but Cyclingnews isn&#8217;t slowing down.

However, they remain eligible for wildcard entries as they made the top 30 in the UCI Team Rankings, and as the fourth-best ProTeam, will be invited to the one-day WorldTour events.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The road season might be at an end, but Cyclingnews isn&#8217;t slowing down.
