Intense transfer speculation surrounding his future at Ineos Grenadiers has left Tom Pidcock “mentally frazzled”, the Briton admitted after finishing 13th in the men’s Olympic road race behind winner Remco Evenepoel.
The Briton, who turned 25 at the end of July, was the subject of a reportfrom journalist Daniel Benson earlier this week that suggested Pidcock could leave Ineos despite having three more seasons left to run on his multi-year contract.
Expanding further, he added: “I didn’t feel like myself. I didn’t get much sleep after the mountain bike and too many people gave me birthday cake on my birthday. I had to take it really easy all week to try to freshen up. I was also mentally exhausted with the Olympics and everything else going on.”
Asked to clarify his position over his long-term future, the Yorkshireman replied: “Yeah, that’s why I am mentally a bit frazzled.”
“Tom has a number of great goals to achieve in the coming years. Ineos is a great team with great people, we are in constant communication about what is best for the team and how Tom fits into that, what is best for Tom, what the goals are and how to achieve them. If at any time the goals between Tom and the team differ, I am sure we will sit down with the management of Ineos Grenadiers as adults and discuss it.”
