That's an illipsis. An ellipsis is merely electric powered and not necessarily online.

Brailsford said something along the lines of when developing talent, you have two choices
Also, fair play to sky for picking up more GT riders of the future, if you're aiming at winning all the stage races you need to find the riders with the heads for it, they're separated so slightly physically that the mental difference plays a huge part
- Pour money into a development team and have talent poached
- Work as a collective of professional outfits to share talent and expertise which develops riders.

Pure speculation but:
Team Wiggins, in a bit of a financial hot spot, realises that they can get more sponsorship if they take on Pidcock, but can't afford to sign Pidcock until they have the sponsorship sorted. In order to solve the chicken-and-egg problem, they declare that they have signed Pidcock, get the sponsorship, and then can afford to sign him.
However, Dad has not been brought on board, or is wary of such subterfuge, and refuses to play ball.

An Post Chain Reaction confirm that they will not be competing in 2018 due to failing to find money, but will continue to seek new partners for 2019. Hopefully the riders will get something sorted if they haven't already.
