Despite maintaining a solid contract until 2024, various sources and specialized media, such as GCN, have raised uncertainty about his permanence with the German team. The interest of other teams in this young talent is mentioned, which has intensified rumours about a possible early departure.
Ralph Denk, team manager of BORA-hansgrohe, has remained cautious about this wave of speculation according to Wielerflits: "At the moment there is nothing on the table. It's a big advantage that he still has a contract until next year. I don't know if he'll end up leaving, but for the moment nothing is on the table."
The arrival of Primoz Roglic to the team does not seem to have changed the situation, as Uijtdebroeks stated in Wielerflits: "The arrival of Primoz does not change the situation either". However, his refusal to confirm his stay with the current team has raised even more questions about his future.
The talented climber has acknowledged the interest from several teams as flattering and remained cryptic about his future decision: "That's always nice. I take it as a compliment. We'll see later on what is possibly a good decision."
