WorldTour rankings

Despite what most fans would call a disappointing start to the season, the team is still healthily placed in the UCI rankings. After the conclusion of the Tour Down Under, Paris-Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico and Milano-Sanremo, the team is ranked 12th, ahead of teams such as Katusha, Movistar, Astana and Saxo Bank. Not too shabby, but the individual rankings show the weakness in the team: Samuel Sánchez is the only rider who's scored points. Samu is ranked 16th with 59 points. And while that's good for him, is speaks volumes of the lack in depth in the team I'm afraid.
