Bombshell! Tom Pidcock could still walk away from INEOS as talks with Q36.5 are reopened

Tom Pidcock's future, despite all the bad blood and rumors, looked like in the short term, at least in 2025, it was going to be secure at INEOS Grenadiers. However, that might not be the case.

And according to Gazetta dello Sport, where they have the best info on the cycling market, the option that the Olympic MTB champion ends up leaving for the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team remains open. So, nothing would be closed, not that the winner of the last Amstel Gold Race is already done with the Swiss team, but the negotiations seem to have reopened.

Everything has been very strange this year with Pidcock and INEOS. The bad blood is evident and the reasons are unclear. It has been said that the fact that the cyclist is not only dedicated to the road, but "wastes" time with cyclocross and mountain biking, does not make it easier for him to progress on the road as expected.

It has been said that he is not leaving for money, because despite the bad feeling there is no team willing to pay him what he earns with INEOS. The truth is that a couple of weeks ago, when he spoke to the press, everything was very strange. It seemed that he was going to continue, but if he ends up leaving, it won't be bad for him or for the British team.

When everything goes wrong, it is better to change airs. In any case, as the Gazzetta comments, nothing would be closed. We will see what happens in the next few days with one of the most talented cyclists of the moment that would undoubtedly make the Q36.5's step up to a brand new level while INEOS would sink even lower in its struggle to find a place in nowadays peloton.
