Pidcock and INEOS begin to reconcile

Road 05/11/24 12:33 Migue A.

The waters seem to be returning to their course in the INEOS Grenadiers team, which will gather its roster in Manchester for a first contact before starting the season and after the internal renewal with which the British squad is trying to return to the path of success. A new stage in which it seems that, finally, Tom Pidcock will have his place.

INEOS Grenadiers begins working on the 2025 season with Tom Pidcock

After a campaign in which the divorce between Tom Pidcock and INEOS Grenadier seemed definitive when the cyclist was excluded from the team that took part in Il Lombardia, the situation seems to finally be getting back on track.

Both parties have had no choice but to find a meeting point since for INEOS, terminating the rider's contract would be a significant economic blow while Tom Pidcock's options were, according to all rumors, to sign with a second-tier team like Q36.5.

Also playing an important role in redirecting the situation is the internal renewal that INEOS Grenadiers has been carrying out and that a few days ago announced major changes in its staff after the analysis of the situation carried out during the year by the new performance director Scott Drawer. Changes that have also involved the departure of several riders such as Luke Rowe, Ethan Hayter, or Jonathan Narváez.

This week, the entire team meets in Manchester, where even some cyclists attended the Premier League soccer match of Manchester United, a team of which INEOS owner Jim Ratcliffe acquired a significant percentage of shares placing at the helm of it, the former founder of Team Sky, Dave Brailsford. A first contact before the start of the winter stages in December in Mallorca that will serve to carry out the prospective medical tests, adjust the new bicycles, and sit down to analyze the 2024 season and plan the upcoming one.

A few days that will surely be especially intense to finish redirecting the relationship between Tom Pidcock and the team in order to fit INEOS's demands for more commitment to the road by the cyclist and Tom Pidcock's ambitions, today one of the best cyclists in the world, if not the best, in mountain biking in the XC modality and one of the main figures in cyclocross.
