Tom Pidcock confirmed that he would leave the Ineos Grenadier and signed off with a brief message and a gallery of personal and race images on his instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrammed instagrams.   

Pidcock had been at odds with the British team for several months, but their relationship deteriorated when he was suddenly "deselected" from Il Lombardy, despite being the strongest rider in the race.

Ineos Grenadiers confirmed on Wednesday that Pidcock will leave at the end of the year after apparently reaching an agreement to terminate the contract until 2027.

A reliable source told Cyclingnews that Pidcock plans to sign a contract with the q36.5 team and that billionaire team backer Ivan Glasenberg will finance the transfer. Pidcock reportedly earned more than 300 million euros a year at Ineos Grenadiers. 

It is unclear whether the Ineos Grenadier will try to replace the 2025 Pidock by signing another rider, or whether it will target the 2026 big name exchange.

Pidcock has had success at the Ineos Grenadiers after turning professional in 2021, with Alpe d'Huez winning the Tour de France stage, Strade Bianche winning solo and winning this year's Amstel Gold Race. He is also a double Olympic mountain bike champion.

"So many great memories that will stick with me all my life," Pidcock wrote on Instagram.いinstagram.com/pidcock/pidcock/Pidcock/Pidcock

"I can't thank enough all the hardworking people on the team for bringing a lot of things and helping me achieve my dreams.Thanks to @ineosgrenadiers.

He added: "Gonna miss you boys" and signed off: "When 1 door closes, another door opens...."Without revealing his future plans. 

The end of the Pidcock time at Ineos Grenadiers caused criticism to the team by some of the special media. Some of Pidcock's Ineos Grenadier teammates immediately posted messages of support. 

The Ineos Grenadier also posted a message. 

"Thanks for wishing Tom good luck with the next chapter of your career," the team wrote. 

Fellow Yorkshmen and classic rider Ben Turner were more affectionate. 

"Miss u packapunch," he said in response to pidcock's message, with a punch and heart emoji. 

Former teammate Luke Lowe wrote: He was a joy companion" and shows his solidarity with Pidcock.   

"It's great to have been your teammate,Tom," wrote Taimen Arensman, who celebrated his 25th birthday at team camp as Pidcock's contract termination emerged.
