But if UAE are offering that either SD Worx match it, or Demi has to choose which team she'd be happier at.
On the face of it SD Worx are the team to be at due to their recent success
but we know that comes with some friction amongst the riders, maybe especially as egos grow bigger and each of them decides they should be the favoured rider.
It's a tough one for Demi, though she spends most of her time during the season in a campervan, so doesn't seem the materialistic money type, but one presumes Wiebes is currently the highest salaried rider at SDWorx and that Demi is worth at least as much as Wiebes deal which was 500,000 wasn't it ?
At which point Kopecky probably demands as much and suddenly a team of such big hitters doesn't seem so smart anymore.
They don't really need Kopecky, so unless SDW is very keen on having a Belgian star rider, it's likely she moves elsewhere. But having her ride against them might of course also come with a price.
I'm sure the team and the sponsors want to keep Vollering, and I also assume she'd prefer to stay. I don't think she and her partner need the money either, but still an offer can be too good to refuse, and maybe she'll appreciate a new challenge as well.
We know that there can sometimes be friction at SDW (whether it sometimes gets talked up by the media is anyone's guess), but there seems to be a fine atmosphere between the ex-Parkhotel Valkenburg riders, and we know that Vollering and Van der Breggen seemingly have a good relationship, too.
