While Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates continue to dominate the UCI World Rankings for individual riders and teams, respectively, the period of the Vuelta a España has caused some significant shifts in the teams below them.

Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, the fifth-best team in the last three-year WorldTour relegation rankings (2020-2022) suffered last year and ended the season ranked only 10th. Before the Vuelta, they were in 7th but, thanks to Primož Roglič's overall victory they leapfrogged ahead of Ineos Grenadiers, Soudal-Quickstep and Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale into 4th.
