Demi Vollering nearing FDJ - Suez move according to latest reports

Where the future lies for Demi Vollering is one of the most intriguing questions in women's cycling at the moment. According to the latest reports, the Tour de France Femmes winner could be close to securing her next team.
Ever since Team SD Worx - Protime somewhat surprisingly announced the Vollering would be departing the team at the end of the season, rumours have abounded of record breaking contract offers and interest from across the women's World Tour peloton. According to Algemeen Dagblad and Wielerflits, FDJ - Suez may have won the race.
This does however, contradict recent comments from FDJ-Suez boss, Stephen Delcourt who recently laughed off the rumours of Vollering's arrival in conversation with GCN. "How’s that possible? We’re not Dutch, and with Lapierre. Do you think it’s possible? Maybe we can start the negotiations tomorrow... I don’t know but every team wants a Demi, every team wants a Juliette Labous, everyone wants an Elisa Longo Borghini," Delcourt said.
One of the premier riders in the women's peloton, wherever Vollering ends up, it's likely she could become the highest paid rider though. And with FDJ-Suez having a number of riders in their contract year, it's possible they could sacrifice some to open up room in the wage budget.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
