At least Schachmann and Kämna are leaving the team of their own free will, the tablecloth has been cut between Buchmann and the team management after he was not nominated for the first two Grand Tours of this season. There is already speculation about the new goals of the three top German riders. Buchmann is expected to Cofidis will take over from Simon Geschke.

The American development team already has three promising talents in Tim-Torn Teutenberg, Loius Leidert and Niklas Behrens.
Maximilian Schachmann to Team Jayco-AlUla?
For Schachmann, the path Dutch media according to Jayco-AlUla lead. There he would become team-mates with Felix Engelhardt and Max Walscheid. This season, transfers may only be officially signed and announced from 1 August. However, the UCI announced in June that this rule would be abolished in future.

Established riders such as Nils Politt and Pascal Ackermann have already worn the team's jersey and have only found limited happiness there. With Emil Herzog and Florian Lipowitz, there are only two young professionals from Germany alongside Denz in the line-up for 2025, while the contract situation is unclear for Jonas Koch, Anton Palzer, Ben Zwiehoff and Luis-Joe Lührs.
