Ineos Grenadiers have tried to draw a line under the mysterious absence of senior directeur sportif Steve Cummings at the Tour de France while refusing to explain his absence and why he is not in the team car managing race strategy.
Cummings was promoted to the role of ‘Director of Racing’ when Rod Ellingworth left the team during the winter and worked on a number of races as directeur sportif this season, including the Critérium du Dauphiné.
