Velonews' Daniel Benson reported that the Dutch rider is likely to be leaving Jumbo-Visma and will be moving towards Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux. This would be a move that would interest both sides as the Dutchman would find a classics-focused team with a wide variety of opportunities and freedom.
The Belgian team was also heavily linked to Rui Costa recently, as they continue to work on their classics squad to keep building on strong results and maintenance at World Tour level for years to come.
Teunissen was the winner of the opening stage of the 2019 Tour de France aswell as other big wins which have seen him as one of the best riders of the season within the peloton.
