Great Britain’s Tom Pidcock is to leave the Ineos Grenadiers team at the end of the season.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 25-year-old has been with the team since 2021 and will depart despite having signed a new five-year contract in 2022.<\/p>\n
Pidcock retained his Olympic mountain bike title when he won gold at the Games in Paris this year.<\/p>\n
For Ineos, he won a stage of the Tour de France in 2022, while also claiming victory in the prestigious Strade Bianche and Amstel Gold Race one-day classics.<\/p>\n
However, he failed to win a stage at this year’s Tour de France and there was speculation over the rider’s relationship with the team’s management.<\/p>\n
In October, Piddock said he had been “deselected” for the Giro di Lombardia “just as things were on the up after a turbulent end to the year”.<\/p>\n
“So many amazing memories that will stick with me for a lifetime,” said Pidcock following the announcement of his exit.<\/p>\n
“I can’t thank enough all the hard-working people in the team who brought so much and helped me achieve my dreams – thank you Ineos Grenadiers.<\/p>\n
“Going to miss you boys. When one door closes another opens.”<\/p>\n
Ineos Grenadiers chief executive John Allert said: “We\u2019re really proud of the work we’ve done with Tom to help him achieve some extraordinary and memorable moments.<\/p>\n
“Together we’ve written a powerful chapter and shown how exciting and diverse professional cycling can be.<\/p>\n
“Tom has some big multi-disciplinary goals and we believe this decision enables both of us to pursue our future ambitions with clarity, purpose and determination.<\/p>\n
“We thank Tom for the last four years and wish him the best of luck for the future.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
