Ineos Grenadiers co-leader and former Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas has weighed in on the ongoing crisis surrounding teammate Tom Pidcock, saying in an Instagram takeover posted on Eurosport that "It's just messed up."
Pidcock suffered a shock late exit from the team's Il Lombardia lineup - a race where he was considered an outside favourite - saying on his own Instagram account that "Just as things were on the up after a turbulent end to the year I am deselected."
