Tom Pidcock takes first Mountain Bike win of the season in Chur

Tom Pidcock has returned to winning ways in the Mountain Bike discipline after taking victory in his second race of the season in Chur.
The 23-year-old INEOS Grenadiers rider took an emphatic victory at the OKK Bike Revolution - Round 2 event in Chur. Active throughout the race, Pidcock made his race-winning move on the sixth of nine laps. Mathias Fluckiger put a bit of pressure on the British rider on the final lap, but Pidcock held on for a nine-second victory.
"I feel good now but in the race that was hard. I was maybe overconfident at the start pushing on, and then I was blowing for maybe half an hour afterwards. Then I came back into it a bit," revealed Pidcock to the official website of the INEOS Grenadiers following his victory. "The race was quite cagey as the climb was so hard and also a headwind. In the group we would go slow and then really fast. I think it was playing on people’s legs in the end."
"The pace was super high. It’s also quite warm and I haven’t really ridden in heat this year. It’s been quite a cold spring. I didn’t really want to go into the red," he continues. "Hopefully that's blown out a few cobwebs. It certainly felt like it. Obviously next weekend is the first World Cup. It’s actually the leader’s jersey on offer as well, which I won’t get much chance to go for in my career I don’t think. So that would be nice."

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
