What's this?

Good question. I'm no expert, but he definitely won't be riding for DD

next year (mostly because they have a new sponsor for next year, and will be known as Team NTT) :-) But that team is also at risk of getting supplanted by some other teams (basically getting demoted from WorldTour to mere Continental level.

Some things may play into it (other than money of course).
-what are Ben's goals? If he wants to ride in another TdF, then his team demotion may encourage him to move on. But he also won a couple of stages in the Vuelta a España (aka "Tour of Spain). So maybe his old team will make him "The Dude" in the Vuelta, or maybe do some races in the US (like the Tour of California).
