After being forced out of Tirreno-Adriatico, it looked as if Tom Pidcock may have been set for a relatively long lay off. Thankfully for the INEOS Grenadiers star, his recovery has gone better than expected with a return to action at Gent Wevelgem likely.

Cycling News report that despite Pidcock being left out of INEOS Grenadiers lineup for the E3 Saxo Classic, with Filippo Ganna taking his place at the head of the team, the recent Strade Bianche winner could be set to return as soon as Sunday in Belgium.
Despite last year's Paris-Roubaix winner, Dylan van Baarle leaving INEOS, the British based team have enjoyed an impressive start to the Classics season, highlighted by Pidcock's Strade Bianche success. As such having the 23-year-old back in action sooner than expected will boost the already impressive ranks that include the likes of inform Ganna, Michal Kwiatkowski and returning Ben Turner.
