Limbo. That\u2019s probably the best way to sum up Sam Welsford\u2019s current situation.<\/p>\n

Back in June, the Australian sprinter was understood to have reached an agreement in principle with Ineos Grenadiers.<\/p>\n

Several months on, the rider is still without a contract, and from our sources, it appears that the British team has been slow to move forward with that agreement. We\u2019ve heard rumblings on this for a while, and since Dave Brailsford\u2019s return, sources suggest the team has slowed or paused aspects of their transfer activity.<\/p>\n

Right now, we\u2019re also offering a massive \u2728 20% discount \u2728 on all annual subscriptions. It\u2019s a great time to sign up and join the growing community of readers.<\/p>\n

Get 20% off for 1 year<\/a><\/p>\n

Part of that is completely understandable. Ineos Grenadiers, aside from a couple of exceptions, have been underperforming in the transfer market over the last three years. Not just in terms of the riders they\u2019ve signed but also with regards to those they\u2019ve let out the door, including Tom Pidcock, Richard Carapaz, Adam Yates, Dani Martinez, Dylan van Baarle, Pavel Sivakov and others.<\/p>\n
