According to many rumors, if the merger between Jumbo Visma and Soudal Quickstep happens, all contracts of SQ riders will be cancelled. The double world champion will be without a contract.
If a team changes names or appears with a different name, this won't change the result of the question. I will add these new names in the description to clearify.

3.00@Eliza I'll resolve on January 1st according to the official closing date. However, if you need the Mana, I put in a limit order at 99% and I could send you the last percentage of your profits.
Please no
@applepipe Merger probably won't take place according to the newest rumors. If the merger took place and Lefevre took over the UCI license from SQ and Alaphilippe was in it, the question would resolve in SQ (not merging). If he founded a new team or took over a continental team, it would resolve in the new team.
@Lion I dont keep up with the news but is there not a possibility that SQ and JV merge under JV licence but Lefevere keeps SQ licence? I thought I heard something like this from Johan Bruyneel yesterday.
@applepipe Yes, it would be possible. If so, the SQ (non merger) would still be the answer for Lefevre's "new" team, because he would hold on to the license.
