Pidcock transfer saga finally resolved

The mystery surrounding Tom Pidcock’s future has finally reached its resolution – he has left Ineos Grenadiers and joined Q36.5 Pro Cycling on a three-year deal.

The saga began its closing act last week, when, in a widely anticipated team statement, Ineos Grenadiers announced the 25-year-old would depart by mutual agreement. “We’re really proud of the work we’ve done with Tom,” the team’s CEO, John Allert, said. “Together we’ve written a powerful chapter.”

It’s a chapter that, after four years, and victories at Strade Bianche, Amstel Gold and on Alpe d’Huez at the Tour de France, ended in disharmony. A new chapter now begins with Q36.5, a Swiss squad in the ProTour, the tier below WorldTour.

“This isn’t just a change of jersey; it’s the start of something special,” Pidcock said. “Joining a team that believes in me and shares my vision of success makes this an incredibly important step in my career.” Here are some of the main questions that surround the move.

"I'M JOINING A TEAM THAT BELIEVES IN ME"

Why is he leaving?

In Pidcock’s own words, 2024 came to a “turbulent” crescendo for him. Chatter around his future followed him at the Tour and the Olympics, and only grew more intense, particularly when he was, as he said, “deselected” from October’s Il Lombardia.
