The possible merger between the Jumbo-Visma and Soudal Quick-Step cycling teams will not take place, as reported by the Dutch newspaper Sporza and the belgian Het Laatste Nieuwswhich specifies that the decision has already been communicated to cyclists.
The Flemish newspaper points out that the Soudal Quick Step and the Jumbo-Visma have abandoned merger talks.
Teams have been unable, among other things, to meet the October 16 deadline to specify their plans, as the International Cycling Union (UCI) will announce on the 19th the teams that will be licensed until 2025.
The possible merger, which would bring together two of the five best teams in the peloton and would have to be approved by the UCI, could mean that the formation includes in its ranks a squad made up of cyclists of the caliber of Jonas Vingegaard, Stepp Kuss, Wout Van Aert, Remco Evenepoel, Julian Alaphilippe, Kasper Asgreen, Fabio Jakobsen and Mikel Landa.
