With all the focus on the history that could be made by either Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel or Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar at this year’s World Championships, little has been made of the history that GB’s Tom Pidcock is on the precipice of.
No man has ever won the World title in cross-country mountain biking, cyclo-cross and on the road, and Pidcock has already completed two of the three. On a course that seems to suit the 25-year-old, who has won the Amstel Gold Race and been on the podium of Liège-Bastogne-Liège, ordinarily we would be playing up the chances of the man from Leeds.
