The INEOS Grenadiers have announced their lineup for La Fleche Wallone with Tom Pidcock, who will be looking to bounce back after fading to third at last Sunday's Amstel Gold Race, set to lead.
Having been able to follow Tadej Pogacar's initial attack at the Amstel Gold Race, Pidcock was dropped by the Slovenian's second move and subsequently counter-attacked by Ben Healy as the 23-year-old Brit faded to third, putting the blame on the race being too long. “I really had nothing left at the end. I'm having a bit of trouble with the distance this year," Pidcock said.
At La Fleche Wallone, Pidcock will once again be up against Pogacar and Healy among others and will be supported in his quest for victory by former two-time Vuelta a Espana King of the Mountains winner, Omar Fraile, 2014 Fleche Wallone podium finisher Michal Kwiatkowski, 20-year-old Magnus Sheffield, former British national road race champion Connor Swift, 19-year-old Welshman Joshua Tarling and Australian Ironman specialist Cameron Wurf.
INEOS Grenadiers for La Fleche Wallone:
Tom Pidcock, Omar Fraile, Michal Kwiatkowski, Magnus Sheffield, Connor Swift, Joshua Tarling and Cameron Wurf.

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
