Tom Pidcock confirmed for the XCO World Championship in Andorra

After winning his second gold in MTB and finishing 13th in the road race at the Paris Olympics, Pidcock took a well-deserved break. A period that will have been good for him to recover from the mental exhaustion he mentioned after the road Olympic race and partly attributed to the rumors about his departure from INEOS.

Now, pending more dates on his calendar, we know that the British team has confirmed him to defend his rainbow jersey at the XCO World Championship in Andorra to be held at the end of August. Alongside him will be his Olympic teammate Charlie Aldridge and national champion Cameron Orr.

After his Olympic performance in Paris, where he was leading solo until he suffered a puncture that forced him to make a historic comeback to win in the last lap against Victor Koretzky, Pidcock will once again start in Andorra as the top favorite for the World title.
