Tom Pidcock is one of the prominent young assets of the new era. cycling. The 23-year-old marks the talent in a generation led by Tadej Pogacar who succeeded this Saturday. Strade Bianche winnerThe Italian race became identified with a white land called ‘sterrato’, similar to what the Slovenian phenomenon did in 2022. He attacked 50 kilometers from the finish line and single-handedly resisted the never-ending pursuers. The British cyclist raced his way to victory.
Pidcock is far from being recognized in the cycling world, aim higher and higherand the third guest of a cycling environment dominated by Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert among cyclists who can distinguish themselves in all the fields they participate in: cyclocross, mountain biking, traditional road biking or nascent gravel. Here’s the Pidcock case. He is the current Olympic mountain bike champion and the cyclo-cross world champion in 2022 and the winner of the Alpe d’Huez stage of the Tour, where a technical descent to Galibier is marked for framing at any cycling school.

Like a tiny mouse running fast and mischievously, believing in his strength and resisting the pack of cats chasing him. There they attacked with jerks, but no one trusted the enemyIn the end, they left the house unscathed, for the greater benefit of the English runner, who never fainted while fleeing.
And he won to replace Pogacar and show that he’s aiming high in the classics this year even in one-week races because grand laps aren’t his thing, like a one-day epic on the Strade Bianche where Pello lived. Bilbao came in seventh place. In women’s category, Dutchman Demi Vollering came first.. His compatriot, favorite and Movistar leader Annemiek van Vleuten crossed the finish line in fifth place.
