Rumours surrounding Tom Pidcock’s potential departure from INEOS Grenadiers have intensified, especially following his omission from the team’s lineup for Il Lombardia last Saturday. The unrest between Pidcock and the team has been evident for some time, but this latest snub may be the final straw for the talented rider from Leeds.
Laurens ten Dam, a former road racer who recently competed in the Gravel World Championships, has been vocal about the situation and was critical of Pidcock’s absence from Il Lombardia. Speaking in the Live Slow Ride Fast podcast, Ten Dam commented on the ongoing tensions between Pidcock and INEOS.
“I think they have said no a few times now,” Ten Dam remarked. “Merijn Zeeman also said that at some point: we are going to do it my way, because I am not going to bend everything to the top riders. That is when that consistent line came. That could be a change for INEOS, but that does not sit well with Pidcock.”
This adds fuel to the speculation that Pidcock could be on his way to joining Q36.5 Pro Cycling for the 2025 season. With tensions between the rider and team management reportedly on the rise, it seems increasingly likely that a change could be on the horizon for the British cycling star.
