The Decathlon CMA CGM cycling team has undergone significant roster changes and faces contract uncertainty. The team announced the signing of Pavel Sivakov through 2029, a move that brings experience from his previous tenure at UAE Team Emirates. 

Simultaneously, the team is managing uncertainty regarding Paul Seixas. While the team is reportedly attempting to retain the rider, Seixas has expressed a desire to avoid rushing into a new commitment before his current contract expires at the end of 2027. Speculation has linked Seixas to other high-budget teams, including Visma | Lease a Bike and UAE Team Emirates.
