Pidcock's coach also leaves INEOS Grenadiers

Tom Pidcock's departure from the British team to join Q36.5 has been accompanied by the departure of his coach Kurt Bogaerts, a move that also makes sense with the departure of Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, who he also coached, and the restructuring of the staff that INEOS Grenadiers has been carrying out.

Kurt Bogaerts follows Tom Pidcock to Q36.5

Surprisingly, Kurt Bogaerts, coach of Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot in the ranks of INEOS Grenadiers, has disappeared from the team's staff listings on the website without any notification from the British squad.

All rumors point to Bogaerts being part of the recently signed contract between Tom Pidcock and the Swiss team Q36.5, so they will both continue on this new journey together.

A change in the technical structure of INEOS Grenadiers that adds to the many changes that have already occurred throughout the year with the aim of renewing the team's structure in order to regain the path of success that the team seems to have forgotten in recent years.

Bogaerts' departure also coincides with that of Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, who he had also been coaching. She is heading to Visma-Lease a Bike.

Although there has been no official confirmation, it is expected that Q36.5 will officially announce the addition of Kurt Bogaerts in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Tom Pidcock continues with his preseason, focusing on fully adapting to Q36.5, and taking the opportunity to dispel rumors and make it clear that he will not be competing in cyclocross this season.
