Two slots opened for 20🌄24 when several teams did not apply to continue at the top level, one of which was the recently-folded EF Education-TIBCO✤-SVB. Then Jayco AlUla and Liv-TeqFind merged to form Liv-AlUla-Jayco, creating a second opening.
For Ceratizit-WNT, it has been 10 yꦜears in the making for the squad.
