INEOS Grenadiers have a strong lineup towards Strade Bianche, and Tom Pidcock is headlining the race one that suits his abilities to perfection with the many gravel sectors and sharp ascents.
“It will be a beautiful day. I don't think the weather conditions will play a major role.," Pidcock said ahead of the race. "We have a very strong team. Anything can happen in the Strade Bianche, so it's good that we have a strong team across the board.”

After taking a stage win at the Volta ao Algarve on the summit finish to the Alto do Malhão, the Briton has shown his form in this start to the season. Having skipped the Cyclocross World Championships, Pidcock focused and trained towards his goals this spring on the road and appears to be on form.
"I'm really looking forward to the Strade Bianche, it's really one of my favorite races. Mentally I am also in a good flow." In this treacherous race he will be facing the likes of Mathieu van der Poel, Julian Alaphilippe and several other classics specialists who have been on flying form over the past few weeks.
However, Pidcock counts on the support of Magnus Sheffield, Carlos Rodríguez and former winner Michal Kwiatkowski. “Kwiatkowski is a very experienced rider. It's always good to race with him. We will have to be there as a team when we drive to the important sectors. However, it is difficult to plan for this match. We'll see how it goes," he concluded.
