Tour de France confirm wildcard teams for 2025 - Tom Pidcock's Q36.5 miss out
CyclingMonday, 31 March 2025 at 14:07
After the earlier announcement of an extra team added to the Grand Tour lineups in 2025, the Tour de France has now unveiled each and every team that are set to compete in the most watched race in the sport later this summer.
The edition this year saw arguably as tougher fight for the wildcards as ever before. The influx of big-name talents such as Julian Alaphilippe, Marc Hirschi and Tom Pidcock to second tier sides has seen the Tudor Pro Cycling Team and the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team rise though the ranks, pushing the recent regulars of the Tour de France, TotalEnergies and Uno-X Mobility. As mentioned, an extra team has been added to the race this year, so with the 18 World Tour teams and the automatic invitations of Lotto and Israel - Premier Tech, that meant only one of the three hopefuls would be disappointed.
As it turns out, that team to miss out has been announced to be Tom Pidcock's Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team. As confirmed by the Tour de France, the Tudor Pro Cycling Team, TotalEnergies and Uno-X Mobility will all compete at the upcoming edition of the world's most famous bike race. Will any of the teams be able to make an impact this summer? Time will tell!

- I actually found his current comment informative, although I admit to being lost a bit on some previous ones. Made me google a bit about Rwanda now. Interesting geography, nice WC venue.FredMan18-05-2025
- He definitely doesn't want red yet. But much of that is probably because he has no confidence in his team.Veganpotter18-05-2025
- I think he's there hoping for the best with his fitness while still having his pipedream of a TdF win. He's not capable of winning the TdF, this is the way to do it while hoping to take the GiroVeganpotter18-05-2025
- I'm not frustrated, I'm simply tired of having to read your bloviating, ill-advised comments in response to almost every article posted on this site. I will grant that at you're not as offensive as some of the subhuman right-wing cretins who feel compelled to display their asinine beliefs at every turn. So you've got that going for you.verve82518-05-2025
- I understand and fully support the protest against Israel's genocide of the Palestinians. However, there is no need to put any riders at risk in protesting this. Any sporting or arts body not kicking out Israel from competition and events is complicit in what's happening in Gaza. You need little moral compass to know the UCI should ban IPT from competing. It's flying the flag for baby killers. For a regime starving 2 million people. A regime that bombs hospitals and refugee tents. It's fkn nuts and repulsive.Matt18-05-2025
- Enigmatic as ever. He only cares about the jersey on one day: the last one. He knows better than anyone what it means to assume too much too soon.RidesHills18-05-2025
- I can't believe he even made it back to the professional level. It's so good to hear his name called again in a Grand Tour. His Tour de France podium speech was one of the most gracious I can recall in many years.
