Top 5 upcoming most sought after free agents for the next window, excluding anyone above 30+ years old, like Yates, Kung, and Mas etc as they have a short window (ofc can be very useful in a short window for the right team).

My: Søderquist, Vacek—super strong, versatile, and young (!); Pedersen—needless to say why and underrated versatility and still just turning 30 next year. Wilder and Vaquelin. (honorable mention Tulett)

Did you just call Söderqvist a "Free agent" in the sense of "Doesn't have a WT contract" right after I'd just posted that he has signed a WT contract with Trek? Or is there some mystery guy actually named Søderquist?

BTW, Pedersen turns 30 this year. Unless you meant Casper, but he has a contract with QS for next year as well.

Tullett to Jayco. I'd also have Zana in there ahead of a couple.
Before rumours start coming.. I could see this happening for 2026

Vauquelin - Visma
Mas - UAE
A. Yates - Q36.5
Kooij - INEOS
Küng - UAE
Vacek - Red Bull
Piganzoli - Astana
Zana - Astana
Stuyven - Quick Step
Segaert - Red Bull
Zana to stay at Jayco hopefully. I reckon Kooij is our number one priority in terms of bringing talent across.
 
Olav Kooij about to earn 9M in 3 years time. This sport is so doomed it's insane.

Red Bull main candidate, ready to ruin him. Decathlon also in the running.

Vermaerke to UAE is apparently an option.

Benson also started about Remco (and Specialized) to Ineos again btw.

Pinarello's deal with Ineos ends this year (but tbf I was thinking more about a brand swap with Q36.5. so that Scott and Pina would jump ships)
