Biography:
Tom Pidcock proved himself to be one of the most multi-disciplinary riders of his generation in 2022 when he won both the elite men's UCI Mountain Bike World Championship title in Scotland after earlier in the season winning the UCI Cyclocross World Championship in Arkansas. On the road that same year, Pidcock competed in his first Tour de France and won the stage to Alpe d'Huez by beating four-time Tour winner Chris Froome, and won Strade Bianche and landed podiums in Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Amstel Gold Race.
The Tokyo Olympic Games Cross-country MTB gold medalist, he has at all levels across cyclocross, taking UCI Cyclocross World Championship titles in the junior, under-23 and elite men's races (2017, 2019, 2022, respectively). He also won a men's junior time trial at the UCI Road World Championship in 2017.
Pidcock began his professional cyclocross career with the Telenet team in 2017. After winning the Paris-Roubaix junior men's race the same year, it was clear he would have a brilliant future. He reached an agreement to break his contract with his cyclocross team to join a new team built around him by his management company Trinity Racing.
He raced with the Wiggins-Le Col squad, scoring another Paris-Roubaix victory in the under-23 race before the team folded in 2019, then, racing with Trinity, won three stages and the overall Giro Ciclistico d'Italia (Baby Giro) amid the COVID-19 pandemic cancellations. He won the under-23 race at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships as well as the new e-MTB championship.
Ineos Grenadiers signed Pidcock for the 2021 season and he quickly established his promise as a Classics racer, taking podiums in Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne and the Amstel Gold Race, and winning De Brabantse Pijl. He completed his first Grand Tour at the Vuelta a España that year. In the same summer, Pidcock also raced UCI Mountain Bike World Cups, coming from behind to win the round on Nové Mesto and then going on to win the Olympic Games cross country event in the rescheduled games in Tokyo.
