A Jumbo Visma/Soudal Quickstep merger makes no sense because first of all, it would not be a merger. It would be JV taking over SQ for what? For Remco Evenepoel who JV doesn't need given all its other talent? Or for Julian Alaphilippe, who's obviously past his prime, or Fabio Jakobsen who's leaving the team? JV doesn't need SQ and such a takeover would simply mean one less team in the peloton, and less interesting racing - think back to the boring times when Sky dominated the tour.
