BOMBSHELL! Tom Pidcock could be on his way out of INEOS Grenadiers and joining Swiss ProTeam

INEOS Grenadiers still have a contract with Tom Pidcock for several more seasons but it is quite noticeable that the relations are not as bright as in the past. Whilst he became Olympic MTB champion once again, on the road he has been far from the expectations and far from giving the value of his huge salary. There are credible reports that a transfer already this winter could potentially happen...
The Olympic Mountain Bike champion, who is also one of the biggest talents in cycling at the age of 25, has many suitors in the market... This Friday Gazzetta dello Sport's Ciro Scognamiglio and Daniel Friebe have both written that there is a very big interest from ProTeam Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team to sign the Briton. As pointed out by Benji Naesen, the team owner recently bought the Pinarello bike brand which sponsors INEOS; and is a personal sponsor of Pidcock alongside Red Bull.
"Sources confirm to us that Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team is interested in signing Tom Pidcock for the 2025 season," Scognamiglio writes. "A source close to the Swiss team told us that 'it's possible'. Talks are already underway at the moment." This rift between Pidcock and INEOS has seemingly been fixed over the past couple of months, but before the Tour de France it seemed to be stronger than ever as Pidcock said that only he chose which goals he would have at the Tour. Later on he would retract these words; but didn't play a role in the race as he abandoned after also not showing good form; not racing for the overall classification but also not being able to put much work into the team's GC goals.
The bombshell would be tremendous. Pidcock would go from being one of the biggest names in one of the strongest teams in the World Tour, to the two-year old Swiss team that is looking to reinforce itself into next season. Tudor has signed Marc Hirschi, Julian Alaphilippe and is said to be on the brink of announcing Kasper Asgreen; but it seems like it's fellow Swiss team has equally high ambitions of signing big figures.

- Rules are very different from country to country and evolve with time. At one point I couldn’t even give my son my nationality because being unmarried, you’d have to register at least 3 months before the birth, a time when many people know neither the name or sex, and actually, no-one even knows if the birth will take place. In England there is now a kid with the wrong sex on his birth certificate as mistakes (even if by an administration) can no longer be corrected. I just had a 3rd child, we discovered a bump on his head at 2 weeks that wasn’t there 24h before, we ended up at the police accused of child abuse and about to have him taken from us due to staff incompetence and inexperience. Luckily a pediatric neurosurgeon has now confirmed this is not so uncommon after natural childbirth without instruments but most medical employees aren’t informed of it so automatically accuse parents of negligence/lying whatever. We discovered an association that already helped over 1000 wrongly accused couples (just those who found the association in just one country). I almost got arrested in one country for forgery after trying to convert my driver’s license as they thought I must have tampered the dates to get it aged 17 which isn’t possible for them. I can’t access half official services because the online forms are not set up to accept foreign phone number as data but a number is obligatory. That’s just a quick start, anyone who’s ever had to move internationally will confirm, there’s very little that’s not done differently elsewhere than “at home” The world is full of bureaucratic shit destroying society.Mistermaumau23-11-2024

- you was so exhausted, ok, then why to ride third-class races immediately after the Tour? do a mix of rest, relax and soft-medium training in your family environment and after the birth of your baby, a month of full, intense training for the world championship! prestigious and suitable race for you (even MAS did well). Sometimes I don't understand Jonas's calendar.
maria2024202423-11-2024 - it’s just a brutal sport, and if you don’t believe in yourself — especially when you’re young — then what’s the point. i get it. that said, the voice of ultra competitive Mads Pedersen after last year’s Roubaix does echo in one’s ears. “mathieu was LEAGUES better than the rest of us… Yeah, i’d like to BELIEVE i could win this race one day, but after what mathieu just did i think that might be difficult…” and that’s MADS PEDERSEN. still, what can pithie do BUT believe?OCexile23-11-2024

- It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib. Somehow I still train and do some races every year, mainly time trials these days.awp22-11-2024
