One of a number of riders facing an uncertain future after it was announced that Cannondale-Drapac could shut down at the end of the 2017 season, Sep Vanmarcke says that he cannot afford to waste any time finding a new team.

While team-mate Rigoberto Uran has said that he will give Slipstream Sports, the company behind the team, two weeks to find a new sponsor before going in search of a new team for the 2018 season, Vanmarke says he does not want to take such a risk.
