He is, but there are so many riders in the same boat this season. Pcs still lists 94 world tour riders without a confirmed contract.
Yeah, but most of the ones considered above him at least have rumours as to where they might end up, or if they're staying. Oldani at 27 is entering his prime, cannot be at Cofidis as they've filled their roster and is a pretty handy guy as part of a lead out train as well as a good points scorer as he has 47 top 10 finishes since turning pro in 2020.

I can see roles at Alpecin (if they'll take him back, not sure how things were left there), Bahrain, Cycling Academy (is premier tech dropping out?), EF, Ineos, Jayco and Astana at WT level for him, and pretty much any PCT that isn't full (thus discounting the three top of them).

I've seen nothing as to where he could end up

Girmay should stay at Lotto-Intermarché, from what I read on the French Gruppetto forum

I mean it's a logical thought after this Marit rumor given (as I understood it, could be wrong honestly) he was the one depending on Girmay leaving or not. Also with Premier Tech leaving out of nowhere I doubt Israel even has the money to pay for Girmay right now.

Unibet Rose Rockets add Ronan Auge plus their two trainees Colin Savioz and Eivind Broholt Fougner. Possibly still Venturini and Karsten Larsen Feldmann to come based on rumours. Notably stocking up on Frenchmen...

Marit signs for Redbull no?

Venturini got an offer but apparently never responded to that so definitely not a certainty as he's probably still hoping to get a better contract somewhere else.

Yes, but from what I've heard he was the rider that wasn't given the green light to leave immediately cause the merger team mightve want to keep him if Girmay left. So if true (like I said before, my sources have been a bit meeh since this merger) his transfer to Red Bull could mean that Girmay is staying at the merged team.

Stocking up on norwegians as well by hte looks of it. If they get Feldmann that would be 4.

Looks like they could become like a PT farm team for Uno-X. Had hoped Feldmann would end up with them instead but give him a couple years in Rockets and Uno-X can come get him then.
