The debate over adding a 23rd team to Grand Tour rosters arises as Tudor Pro Cycling and Uno-X Mobility vie for wildcard spots in major cycling events. RCS Sport and ASO are in discussions with the UCI regarding potential wildcards for the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España respectively. While this addition could benefit lower-ranked teams, concerns over rider safety and logistical implications persist. Any decision hinges on the UCI's Professional Cycling Council, which has previously allowed exceptions but is wary of changing established selection rules.
The UCI has a rule of 18 WorldTour teams participating in Grand Tours, but the inclusion of an extra 23rd team could alter selection dynamics and safety.
Adding a 23rd team to the Grand Tours is under consideration, but it raises concerns about safety and logistical issues that need to be addressed.
