There's a new big player on the market - Tom Pidcock's Pinarello reportedly making a millionaire bid to sign another classics specialist

Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, the Swiss squad that signed Tom Pidcock at the end of 2024, is reportedly making a major financial bid to sign classics specialist Mauro Schmid. The team, backed by owner Ivan Glasenberg, has risen quickly in the sport since attracting Pidcock, who went on to have his best-ever road season with the squad. The reported transfer activity is taking place during the Giro d'Italia, as teams and agents use the post-spring classics period to negotiate future moves.
