In the teams' rankings, Movistar Team finished top for the third year running, with a total of 1619 points. Second place went to Team Katusha, 13 points behind, while Team Sky finished in third position.

Notes
  1. ^ As Ponzi rode for Southeast Pro Cycling, which is not a World Tour team, he was ineligible to score points towards the UCI World Tour standings.
  2. ^ The World Team Time Trial Championship awards points only in the team rankings, not in the individual or national standings.[3]
