Ed Clancy is Yorkshire's most decorated Olympian to this day with three Olympic gold medals from track. In addition he also won six World championship titles and five European titles. However he is well aware that he may be surpassed by the 25-year-old
Tom Pidcock, who's already won the Olympic MTB twice and also aspires to succeed on road in the future. Finally, The rumoured
inclusion of cyclocross at the Winter Olympic Games could only improve his chances of another gold medal.
Clancy doesn't hide the fact that he's a huge fan of Pidcock, putting him even above the likes of Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar: "Tom is the best rider in the world," he claimed at
Yahoo. "Maybe I'm biased as a Yorkshireman, but his bike handling skills, tactical awareness, how he can climb, sprint, he can do Classics, Grand Tours, I think he's the best around."
