He may have prematurely burned his bridges with the team formerly known as IPT, who knows what it might look like next season? There are a bunch of good riders still there l. Not guaranteed that Adams will still be the principal.
Gee will ride for whichever team Premier Tech decide to invest their money in, Ineos perhaps.
Unless of course Premier Tech go with St Michel Preference Home Auber93.
With title sponsor Premier Tech pulling out it seems like there is no IPT team any more and hence UCI basically has nothing to decide any more. Derek should be free to sign for any team he chooses going in the 2026 season and UCI will need to register him as a rider of that new team. Possibly indeed Premier Tech and Derek might continue their partnership in the future. We'll see.
