Pidcock signs for ambitious second-tier cycling team
Two-time Olympic champion Tom Pidcock announced on Friday he had signed for second-tier cycling team Q36.5 after his departure from Ineos Grenadiers.
The Briton ended his four-year spell at elite outfit Ineos earlier this week and has signed a three-year deal with Q36.5.
"This isn't just a change of jersey -- it's the start of something special," said Pidcock of joining a team that was only formed in 2023.
"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."
Pidcock enjoyed a successful year, winning his second consecutive Olympic mountain bike gold medal with a dramatic comeback victory after suffering a puncture earlier in the race.
He also won the prestigious Amstel Gold Race and Strade Bianche one-day classics.
The 25-year-old has previously made his mark on stage races, including a memorable win on the Alpe d'Huez during the 2022 Tour de France.
Pidcock, though, said he was "de-selected" by Ineos for the Tour of Lombardy in October, when he would have been one of the favourites.
