Team GB to launch Rainbow Jersey assault in Zurich through Tom Pidcock, Stephen Williams and the Yates brothers

For the first time in three years, Tom Pidcock will mount a quest to add a Rainbow Jersey on the road to his palmares. The INEOS Grenadiers star leads a strong and multi-faceted Great Britain for the men's elite road race at the 2024 Zurich World Championships.
A Rainbow Jersey winner in both cyclocross and Mountain Bike, Pidcock will be one of the riders to watch in the fight for victory on the 29th of September. The 25-year-old is far from the only option for the British however, as in-form Welshman Stephen Williams, fresh off the back of his Tour of Britain victory and the superstar duo of Adam Yates and Simon Yates, the potential winners are numbered.
2024 Tour of Britain runner up Oscar Onley will also don the British colours in Zurich, with further support coming from the capable trio of James Knox, Jake Stewart and Mark Donovan. Former European time trial champion Joshua Tarling will also make the journey to Switzerland, with the INEOS Grenadiers powerhouse searching for a Rainbow Jersey against the clock.
“It’s fantastic to see riders in such good form after a busy season, and motivated to defend titles or contest rainbow jerseys for the first time," Stephen Park, GB's performance director, says of the selection. "For our younger riders, this is a fantastic opportunity to compete at world level alongside teammates they can look up to and learn from and I’m confident we’ll see some great successes from our future stars... Day in, day out our programmes across all levels and all disciplines work collaboratively together, so to be able to continue this into competition and showcase all of our athletes on the same stage, is a truly fantastic opportunity."

- Bernal, Remco - how do these teams not have support to keep their multi million dollar investments safe in training rides? Be it scooters ahead of them or finding safer routes, this is insane.mij03-12-2024
- ahahahahahha
maria2024202403-12-2024 - what??? Jonas has a climber perfect physique. He is very light, enormous quadriceps and if you see him from the side, you'll see a huge thorax (big lugs). Better than that impossibile, he was born to climb, a specialist. Tadej is versatile as his physique shows. He's not a specialist.maria2024202403-12-2024
- Heal up Remco!awp03-12-2024
- I never considered him arrogant. He was outspoken at times and angry at other times. He's a professional athlete, sometimes they are emotional.awp03-12-2024
- Embarrassing, lol

- Didn't those ex sponsors cheat through Armstrong? Do you think that most of them didn't know that it's impossible to make 500 watts up a mountain for an hour? Armstrong was a cyclist, I agree he did a lot of bad things but everyone should have a chance at redemption.awp03-12-2024
- And suspicion isn’t proof, not that you need proof to ban anyone from sport. Most ordinary* people have no idea what it’s like having to defend yourself to prove your innocence which is the threshold in doping. They live their comfortable little lives with its little immoral sideshows in a bubble of « bliss « never attracting scrutiny as the presumption of innocence makes them unworthy of investigation. Imagine you would get accused of theft or fraud or violence or tax evasion or you name it but the onus was on you to PROVE it wasn’t you, AND you had to pay for it all out of your own pocket (which incidentally means if the accuser is the state/country there is a conflict of interest as they gather taxes on your costs) knowing that even if you manage to prove your innocence you will likely get nothing or only a portion (of the costd, never mind repairs to other damage such as reputation, career, family & connections ) back, Whatever happened to civilizing society? I reckon it’s like fossil fuels (you get to a peak and it’s only downhill from then on) only 10-20 years in advance.Mistermaumau03-12-2024
