BREAKING: Tom Pidcock makes surprise return to racing and leads INEOS Grenadiers at Paris-Roubaix

INEOS Grenadiers have revealed their lineup for this Sunday's Paris-Roubaix and it includes a special surprise that came out of the blue. Tom Pidcock is gearing up to return to racing in the Hell of the North for the first time.
The Briton was to race Itzulia Basque Country but crashed whilst doing the recon of the opening time-trial. This cost him crucial racing days ahead of the Ardennes where he holds big goals. After being clear of injury, Pidcock returned home but then made the trip to France and is now on the startlist of Roubaix for the first time, where he will be an outsider for a strong result - or even more as he thrives when bike technique is necessary.

It is an important boost to the team's ambitions. Joshua Tarling will be racing here for the second time and will be an interesting rider to follow after a good cobbled classics campaign; he and Ben Turner are good options for a result on the right day. Ben Swift, Connor Swift, Elia Viviani and Andrew August complete the lineup mostly as support riders.
INEOS Grenadiers for Paris-Roubaix:

- Hard to believe with the advancment of modern medicine he can not find a cause for this.frieders321-12-2024
- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
