He may be close to his 30th birthday and into his ninth season as a WorldTour rider, but 2018 marks the first time that Tejay van Garderen has been riding without a contract for the following year. Until now, with both HTC and now with BMC Racing, the American has had long-term deals that were constantly renewed before entering the final 12 months.
