GB's Pidcock leaves Ineos for Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team

Great Britain's Tom Pidcock has signed a three-year contract with Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team.

Pidcock, 25, left Ineos Grenadiers on 4 December, despite agreeing a five-year deal with the British team in 2022.

The double Olympic champion, who retained his mountain bike title at Paris 2024, will join his new team for a pre-season training camp in Calpe, Spain in January.

"This isn't just a change of jersey, it's the start of something special," said Pidcock.

"The chance to work with a team that's growing, with incredible partners and brands, is something that motivates me. I can't wait to see what we'll achieve together."

Q36.5 Pro Cycling are a UCI ProTeam and compete in the second-tier of competition, while Ineos feature in the top-tier UCI World Tour.

For Ineos, Pidcock 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.

"We are honoured to welcome Tom Pidcock to the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team," said team manager Doug Ryder.

"Tom is a true embodiment of passion and competitive spirit, qualities that resonate deeply with our team's values. His extraordinary talent, both on and off the bike, and his proven ability to win at the World Tour level make him a game-changing addition to our roster. We look forward to writing this next chapter together."
