Tom Pidcock, two-time Olympic mountain bike champion, will be leaving the Ineos-Grenadiers team at the end of the season. The team announced this in a communiqué.

The 25-year-old all-rounder, who won the 2022 Tour de France on L'Alpe d'Huez, has been a member of the British team since 2021 and has a contract until 2027. However, there have been tensions recently, particularly in October after he was taken out of the race at the Tour of Lombardy. This year, Pidcock won the Gold Race in April and became Olympic mountain bike champion for the second time in Paris in July.
