Why won't Ineos Grenadiers talk about Steve Cummings?
The Director of Racing is listed to attend a race next week but the team have yet to confirm his presence
It’s been almost two months since we last saw or even heard from Steve Cummings. Since his bizarre and shocking omission from Ineos Grenadiers’ Tour de France on-the-ground management team, the team’s Director of Racing has been MIA.
What's more, the team is not able - or willing - to communicate when we’ll see Cummings at a race next. If it weren’t for the odd Instagram story posted on the man’s personal account one would be entitled to question whether he’s vanished entirety.
We heard indirectly back in June, almost immediately after Cummings’ Tour omission that his next scheduled appearance would be at the Lidl Deutschland Tour, which kicks off on August 21. When asked to confirm that situation on June 27 the team didn’t respond, and when asked for a second time on July 7 the response came back that said they weren’t sure.
