The deal for Tim Merlier to join QuickStep-AlphaVinyl from 2023 is reportedly complete, with the sprinter set to leave Alpecin-Fenix after three-and-a-half-years with the squad.

29-year-old Merlier is set to join the team as a replacement for the outgoing Mark Cavendish, who has hired new agents as he seeks to prolong his career elsewhere.
