I'm pretty sure what we need is wild, unfounded speculation on Demi's team next year... Visma being the obvious destination, but I can't stand those yellow jerseys, so I refuse. AG could be the sneaky contender with Ashleigh retiring, but I don't think they can field a strong enough team to draw Demi. Fenix could be a hot choice if they really want to bring focus on the road, but I just don't see it and I can't abide a Demi/Van der Poel marketing tandem. They're too good looking and I'll be annoyed. Demi's known to enjoy structure, so df DSM can find the money, I would not be shocked, but I have doubts.
So the real answer is obvious. Demi will take a walk on the wild side and sign with Canyon/SRAM. The jersey is good, a strong team, and if I'm not mistaken, Kasia's contract is up at the end of this year. It's not a prediction (as we all know, this is not the place for that), but I think it should happen. The only question is will she bring AvDB or will she team up with Dani Christmas to dominate for years.
I agree with Visma/AG as a no. DSM I can't see as they are maybe a bit too rigid. Canyon//SRAM would be quite a good fit but I'm not sure if Kasia would leave or re-sign?? I don't think Anna VdB will part ways with SD Worx either. I think EF could be a fit for Demi tbh...
