Career path
Who is Pidcock
Thomas Pidcock, who races as Tom, brings cross-country mountain biking and road Classics together across disciplines. His early teams were Baloise, Wiggins and Trinity Racing, then a spell at Netcompany INEOS produced a Tour de France stage win and road victories at Strade Bianche and Amstel Gold Race. Now 27, he races for Pinarello-Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, a Swiss-registered outfit, and his roles still cover cross-country MTB, Classics specialist and puncheur. His palmarès also includes Olympic and world cross-country honours plus nineteen major wins. This season has added GP Industria & Artigianato and Milano-Torino. A British rider who can win on dirt and tarmac, Pidcock gives fans a clear profile: a cross-country racer and road puncheur for a Swiss team.
