Domenico Pozzovivo has signed a contract to race with Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux in 2022. The Italian was left without a team after Qhubeka-NextHash folded following a fruitless search for new financial backers.

Pozzovivo was one of five riders who had multi-year contracts with Qhubeka-NextHash and had hoped the team would find new sponsorship funding for 2022. However, that contract was rescinded upon the teams collapse.
