Cycling, Pidcock's move to Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team is official

Rome, 6 December 2024 - Another piece of an overall rather serene transfer market session is falling into place: tom pidcock, fresh from divorce from Ineos Grenadiers, he settles down at Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team.

Pidcock's statements

The choice to leave a team World Tour to move to a lower level and to be precise Professional has raised quite a few doubts, considering that participation in the main races of the calendar will have to pass through the wild card: a fate, among other things, common to Julian Alaphilippe e Marc Hirschi, new purchases of the Tudor Pro Cycling Team. In short, in the 2025 probably the slots reserved for invitations are already occupied and the one who could pay the price could be the Team TotalEnergies. Speeches that do not concern pidcock, which for the next 3 years he espoused the cause Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team and he did it without much regret for what didn't work (a lot) at the Ineos Grenadiers, greeted apparently without much venom. "I have so many beautiful memories that I will always carry with me. I can never thank enough the people who work hard in the team and who have helped me so much to realize my dreams. I will miss you guys, but when one door closes, another opens". And so it is, even if much could be said about the technical weight and in the world of cycling of the two teams in question. And yet, at this moment, paradoxically the small' Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team It looks more tempting than the 'big one' Ineos Grenadiers, which has many internal issues to resolve before it can hope to return to the team that dominated in particular in the Grand Tours.

Sonny Colbrelli on Edoardo Bove

Football and cycling are worlds apart, but in the last few hours they have been brought closer by what happened to Edward Bove, which a Sonny Colbrelli brought back terrible memories: the cardiac arrest that occurred at Tour of Catalonia 2022, fate that befell the midfielder of Fiorentina on the occasion of the match againstInter. "I am a sports fan and on Sunday night I was watching the match. When I saw what happened to bove - the Brescian stated to the microphones of Sports Radio - my blood ran cold and I didn't want to watch anything anymore: I got up and left. After more than two years I relived what happened to me and those bad moments". Luckily both situations were resolved, averting the worst, even if obviously the footballer's situation is still to be verified. "I immediately sent him a message on social media: I understand what he felt after waking up and after seeing that video again. We must be happy to be here talking about what happened, even if for me it obviously wasn't easy to do it straight away: I had won and had reached an excellent level, with rosy prospects ahead. Stopping suddenly - he continues Colbrelli - made me understand how fragile we are". Then a comment on the future of bove. "I also wanted to immediately go back to doing what I loved and love. Then other thoughts come in: with time Edo will make the right choice."
