De Lie is reportedly heading to Tudor. Despite interest from Groupama-FDJ, Alpecin-Premier Tech and Soudal Quick-Step, his wage demands proved a problem.<\/p>\n<p>De Lie is said to want an even higher salary at his next team, despite results that have been somewhat below expectations.

Van Eetvelt, meanwhile, looks set to land at a different Swiss team: NSN.
