Most of the Jumbo Visma riders under the 2024 contract are expected to form the core of the new "mega-team", with perhaps 6 or so riders coming from Soudal-QuickStep. Remco Evenepoel's 2024 team has not been confirmed even if a merger/takeover takes place and the current contract is void. Both the new team, Ineos Grenadiers and others are reportedly keen to sign him.
Rogic confirmed on Saturday that he will leave Jumbo Visma at the end of the season after the team agreed to release him from contract 1 year ahead of schedule, Bora Hansgrohe and Ineos Grenadiers are his most likely destination as they try to challenge the Tour de France again. It is believed that.
Rogic suggested over the weekend that he reveal his 2024 team after he finished the season – and his 8・year deal with Jumbo Bismuth
Tratnik joined Jumbo Bismuth on a 2-year contract last winter and said he would follow Rogic in 2024. He dispelled rumors that he had been in contact with the Russians and claimed that the departure of his fellow Slovenians had not changed "anything" about his status.
"For me [that doesn't change anything], I still have a contract with Jumbo Visma," Tratnik told Trevalivarezi in Italy
"One is friendship and the other is the business side. He decided like this, and if he is happy I am also happy, but for me this does not change anything.
Tratnik was impressed with his debut season at Jumbo Bismah after winning from Bahrain. He was supposed to ride the Giro d'Italia by the side of the final winner Logric, but was forced to withdraw after crashing during a training ride in Pescara on the eve of the race.
The 33-year-old was later in line for the Vuelta a España and was part of the Jumbo Visma team that swept the podium through the winners Sepp Kus, Jonas Vingegaard and Logric.
Tratnik helped Logric win the Giro del Emilia on Saturday and while riding in the support of the winner, 9th place at Coppa Bernocchi on Monday
he lined up alongside Roglic at Tre Valli Vresine in less than 24 hours, but it seems that Il Lombardia is the main objective of his teammates this week. He stressed that.
"Of course we will try to win, but during the race we will see what it will be like," he said. "But the main focus is now on Lombardy.”
