Pidcock: discuss

[Elefantino]

So Pidders, who said he was in the best shape of the season, was left off ("deselected" ***) the Ineos team for Il Lombardia on Saturday. Rumors have swirled since, including that Ineos fired him (untrue, at least for now).

Even Geraint Thomas was puzzled.

I know that the soigneurs and much of the support staff do not like Pidcock. Don't know about Sir Jim.

Frankly, a move to Q36.5 would seem to be a giant backward step.

Something's going on, that's for sure. A nice little bit of drama to start the off-season. There's gotta be more to this story.

I have had no use for Pidcock since watching him on Netflix Unchained. Very selfish rider.

I'm not defending TP per se but Unchained was edited to play up and / or create drama to make better TV. Don't take what you see there as Truth

Many of the folks that knew him as a youth in Yorkshire remember him as a spoiled brat. He seems to have grown into a difficult adult.

Sometimes a coach/director just has to sit down his star. However the mystery surrounding this is strange. It definitely makes you think that a move is in the works and mid-contract negotiations are keeping the team from talking.

But, I've been wrong before.
