"I'm not going to talk about that too much now" - Demi Vollering 'surprised' by Team SD Worx - Protime's public departure announcement

Demi Vollering's contract is up at the end of 2024 and the Dutch rider, leader of the UCI rankings currently, will move out of Team SD Worx - Protime. However, she reveals she as very surprised that the team made it public this week with a message on social media sharing details on the situation.
"Sometimes it’s really crazy but the offer we made was pretty good and then we said it was an ultimatum because we needed to go on," team manager Erwin Janssen said in words to Cyclingnews. "Her management didn’t give the go for that and that meant for us that they didn’t want to go on with the team." Vollering's management is said to be in talks with UAE Team ADQ and Lidl-Trek - the latter according to GCN's Daniel Benson.
This will certainly be a transfer that will rock up the transfer season and be perhaps the key move in the women's market, also with the possibility of her new contract reaching an all-time high in terms of salary in the field. However not all is pretty, as the Dutch rider tells: “I was a bit surprised by the team's statement but I'm not going to talk about that too much now," Vollering said in words to NU.nl.
"There will be plenty of questions about my future in the near future. I want to focus on all the competitions to come this year, starting on Sunday with the Tour of Flanders. I'm not thinking about saying goodbye right now," she concluded.

- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
