It took just 11 race days for Tom Pidcock to take his first pro win after stepping up to the WorldTour with Ineos Grenadiers this year, outsprinting Jumbo-Visma's Wout van Aert in the final of Brabantse Pijl on Wednesday afternoon.

The 21-year-old Briton came out on top from an elite lead group after 201 kilometres of racing, beating the Belgian superstar and a former European champion, UAE Team Emirates leader Matteo Trentin, to the line in Overijse.
