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.
