Mountain Bike world champion Tom Pidcock made a winning return to the discipline on Sunday afternoon at the first round of the Shimano MTB Super Cup in La Nucia.
Although he started somewhat slowly, Pidcock's class eventually shone through, as the INEOS Grenadiers star taking the win ahead of New Zealander, Samuel Gaze by a clear 25 seconds in the end, with David Valero Serrano in third.
"I've been on a long training camp now so it was a bit difficult to get into the race rhythm," Pidcock said in a short statement post-race, at the finish line. "But I think the endurance came out in the end. It's difficult on the explosive climbs but it's a nice way to start the year. Having a battle with Sam seems to be becoming a regular thing in mountain bike racing, so more of that this year."
This Wednesday, Pidcock will be back in action on the road, making it a third different discipline in a number of weeks for the Brit as he begins his road season at the Volta ao Algarve.

- 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
