The UCI announced the 18 men's teams awarded WorldTour licenses for the coming season, and amid the expected names was a surprising caveat: Picnic-PostNL was awarded a single-year extension of its license, a departure from the usual three-year terms that the other 17 men's WorldTour teams were given. (Picnic's women's team was also subject to a similar restriction, an outlier in the 14-team Women's WorldTour field.)
In its announcement, the UCI said its license commission "has decided to limit the duration of [Picnic's] licence to one year and to set conditions related to the financial criterion that must be met in order to permit its extension to the 2027 and 2028 seasons."
Did we do a good job with this story?
