There is no rest for
Tom Pidcock following a busy spring Classics campaign. The
INEOS Grenadiers star will return off-road as the Mountain Bike season begins in earnest.
In an up-and-down Classics campaign, Pidcock achieved the positive results of victory at Strade Bianche, a third-place finish at the Amstel Gold Race and the first monument podium of the British rider's career at Liege-Bastogne-Liege. However, there was also the disappointment of poor results at the Tour of Flanders and a concussion suffered at Tirreno-Adriatico.
Starting this weekend, Pidcock will travel to Guéret in France for his first Mountain Bike race of the season as he prepares for the upcoming World Cup that takes place in the Czech Republic between the 12th and the 14th of May.
The INEOS Grenadiers have also announced that their female rider Pauline Ferrand-Prevot will also be back in action at the start line in Guéret although both riders further racing calendars are yet to be revealed.
