Q36.5 is are in pole position to sign Tom Pidcock for 2025, despite a contract that the British rider has with INEOS Grenadiers until 2027.
Pidcock has been with INEOS since 2021, and therefore still has a few years left on his contract. However, that could change. Q36.5 is said to be interested in recruiting the MTB Olympic champion.
Q36.5 is one of the teams that are very active on the transfer market and they already signed Milan Vader and Harm Vanhoucke. Earlier it was also announced that Sjoerd Bax and Emils Liepins are moving to the ProTeam.
Pidcock has been in conflict with the INEOS management for some time and was left out of the team for Il Lombardia at the last minute.
“I don’t know what’s going on either,” said Geraint Thomas. “A lot of people are asking about his situation. I have to be honest and say that I don’t know what’s going on. What I do know is that Tom is the best paid rider in the team. It’s clear that it’s a real crap situation.”
