2025 Women's WorldTour team ratings: Who performed best this season?

Who will end the 2025 season happy and which teams will be left wanting more?

Rouleur Member Exclusive Badge MEMBER EXCLUSIVE

2025 was always going to be a fascinating season in the women’s WorldTour. The team that had dominated the previous few seasons, SD Worx, saw some of the riders who have contributed to their success leave, and disperse between several other teams. The playing field therefore seemed more levelled, and it’s arguable that never before has so much talent been spread so widely across different teams.

How was this reflected in each team’s performance throughout the year? 2025 was notable for the variety of teams that excelled in different races, with the three Grand Tours each being won by a different team, and the Classics and other stage races titles also being shared around more so than in recent seasons. 

Now the Women's WorldTour has finished for another year, we take a look at each team individually and assess how they performed in 2025. 

AG INSURANCE-SOUDAL TEAM 7 / 10

Building upon last year’s impressive freshman year in the World Tour, AG Insurance - Soudal Team enjoyed even more success this year, and in the very biggest races. Kim Le Court was the star, enjoying a brilliant Classics campaign that ended with victory at Liège–Bastogne–Liège (the biggest in the team’s history), and winning a stage and wearing yellow at the Tour de France Femmes; while Sarah Gigante also excelled, climbing brilliantly to win two stages and make the podium at the Giro d’Italia. 

CANYON-SRAM ZONDACRYPTO 5 / 10

The team didn’t quite manage to build upon the prestige afforded them by Kasia Niewiadoma’s Tour de France triumph last year, Niewiadoma herself not quite scaling those heights (this time finishing third at the Tour), while other big names Chloe Dygert, Chiara Consonni and Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig struggled to find their best form. That said, their win total of 15 not only surpassed last year’s, but was their highest since 2019, even if most did come outside of the WorldTour. 

CERATIZIT 2 / 10

Though they only entered the World Tour last year, Ceratizit are set to fold after they were unable to find new title sponsors. The difficulties in the background were reflected in their performances on the road, where a depleted line-up struggled for success, only managing four wins (excluding national championships titles), though Sarah Van Dam impressed with third at Itzulia Basque Country and fifth at the Tour of Britain. 

FDJ-SUEZ 8 / 10

The signing of Demi Vollering has the desired effect of propelling FDJ-SUEZ into one of the peloton’s elite teams, riding as a talisman who claimed top victories in Strade Bianche, European Championships road race and Itzulia Basque Country and Volta a Catalunya stage races — albeit missing out on her main target of the Tour de France. They were far from a one-woman team, as well, with Elise Chabbey and Ally Wollaston respective overall victories at the Tour de Romandie and Tour of Britain all forming part of a highest ever victory tally of 22.

FENIX DECEUNINCK 4 / 10

This team continues to be consistent performers in many of the biggest races, but still struggle to find the extra things needed to win, claiming just five all year. Puck Pieterse’s victory at Flèche Wallonne was the exception, but her podium finishes at Liège–Bastogne–Liège and Amstel Gold were more typical of the team’s season, which also included GC podiums at the Tour de Romandie and Vuelta Burgos courtesy of Yara Kastelijn, and fourth overall at the Giro d’Italia Women with Paulina Rooijakkers. 

HUMAN POWERED HEALTH 2 / 10

Though they have done enough to survive in the WorldTour for another year, Human Powered Health remains very much at the bottom rung of it. They found wins very hard to come by, managing just two all season, and their best results generally came from Barbara Malcotti in stage races, notably overall top tens at the Giro d’Italia, UAE Tour and Vuelta a Burgos.

LIDL-TREK 6 / 10

This was a year of transition for Lidl-Trek, having started it without Elisa Longo Borghini and lost both Lizzie Deignan and Ellen van Dijk to retirement during it, and the team will need time for new stars to emerge and succeed them. Fourth overall at the Tour de France and silver at the World Championships suggest Niamh Fisher-Black could be the woman to do so, but the team still relied a lot on Elisa Balsamo, who starred in the classics and won Trofeo Alfredo Binda, the biggest of the team’s 16 wins. 

LIV ALULA JAYCO 3 / 10

The likes of Mavi García, Monica Trinca Colonel, Ella Wyllie and Quinty Ton helped ensure Liv AlUla Jayco were never too far adrift in the World Tour GC races, while Silke Smulders (second at the Tour Down Under) and Caroline Andersson (second at the Tour of Guangxi) came closest to winning one. Actual wins were hard to come by, however, the team only registering three until a couple of late additions at the Chinese stage races; though García ensured one of those came at the biggest stage of all at the Tour de France. 

MOVISTAR 7 / 10

What a sensational signing Marlen Reusser turned out to be. The Swiss rider put her former fitness problems behind her to not only return to her best, but surpass it, discovering new-found climbing abilities to win the Tour de Suisse and Vuelta a Burgos and place second overall at the Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España, in addition to being crowned world time trial champion. Other riders starred too in what was a fruitful season that brought 17 wins, notably Liane Lippert (who won a couple of stages at the Giro and was third at the Tour of Flanders) and teenage prodigy Cat Ferguson. 

PICNIC POSTNL 3 / 10

For a team with such a lineage of prolific sprinters, four wins was a startlingly low return for Picnic-PostNL, and their lowest since 2019. Talisman Charlotte Kool never quite got going, and surprisingly left the team mid-season to join Fenix Deceuninck, and the likes of Pfeiffer Georgi, Nienke Vinke and Megan Jastrab struggled to do better than register top tens in World Tour races. 

ROLAND DE DEVOLUY 1 / 10

Acknowledging that they don’t quite have the roster or the resources to compete at this level, Roland Le Dévoluy are set to drop out of the World Tour next season, having failed to score better than third place overall through Tamara Dronova-Balabolina at the Tour of Chongming Island. 

SD WORX-PROTIME 9 / 10

Yet again, SD Worx-Protime led the peloton’s win list by a country mile, registering 48 wins, almost half coming from the unstoppable Lorena Wiebes, who was relentless in picking up victories at Milan-Sanremo, Gent-Wevelgem, the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France. One reason their total wasn’t quite as high as the past two seasons was the absence of the departed Demi Vollering, who they never quite replaced in the stage races, but Lotte Kopecky (Tour of Flanders) and Mischa Bredewold (Amstel Gold and Classic Lorient Agglomération) helped ensure they were as superior as ever the classics. 

VISMA-LEASE A BIKE 9 / 10

For so long anchored by the great Marianne Vos, this year saw a new star steal the limelight for Visma-Lease a Bike, and make 2025 the greatest season in the team’s history: Pauline Ferrand-Prévot. The new signing landed the team two of the biggest prizes in cycling, the Tour de France Femmes and Paris-Roubaix, and was arguably the rider of the year, while Vos could still be relied upon for a handful of the team’s tally of 18 victories, plus high results in the classics.

UAE TEAM ADQ 8 / 10

Only SD Worx bettered UAE Team ADQ’s season total of 28 wins, in no small part due to the success of new star signing Elisa Longo Borghini. The Italian brought victories in semi-classics like Dwars door Vlaanderen, De Brabantse Pijl and Tre Valli Varesine plus the team’s home stage race the UAE Tour, but above all it was her overall triumph at the Giro d’Italia that made the team’s season. The rest of the squad played a role, too, most notably Maeva Squiban and her two stage wins at the Tour de France Femmes. 

UNO-X MOBILITY 6 / 10

2025 was the most successful year in Uno-X Mobility’s short history, as they built upon their usual success in Scandinavian races to claim stage wins in races like the Vuelta a Burgos and semi-classics. Fast finishers like Linda Zanetti and Susanne Andersen excelled in sprint finishes, while Mie Bjørndal Ottestad (seventh at the Vuelta a Burgos, third at the Tour Down Under) and Katrine Aalerud (tenth at the Giro d’Italia overall victory at the Tour of Norway) posted their best results in stage races.
