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.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
