Pidcock will begin his MTB season in Spain and will miss the start of the World Cup

The XCO World Champion Tom Pidcock has ended his cyclocross season with the exciting race in Benidorm. Now his schedule will switch to road mode but before that, he has decided to start his mountain bike season in Spain. Here are the first races he has chosen for the coming months.

XCO World Champion Tom Pidcock outlines his schedule until April

Subject to official confirmation from his team, at the recent Benidorm event we were able to find out what Tom Pidcock's next moves will be in preparation for the Paris Olympics in August, his main goal for the year.

As we are used to, Pidcock will continue in 2024 competing in three disciplines, cyclocross, road and MTB, and although it would be usual for him to start directly with his first road block after cyclocross, the truth is that this year he will make an exception to start his XCO season in Spain.

It will be on the 11th of February at the Super Cup Massi in La Nucía, Alicante, when we will see Pidcock wearing his World Champion jersey for the first time this year, which this year is signed by Gobik. 

Just 3 days later, on February 14, he will switch to the road at the Volta ao Algarve (Portugal) and from there he will chain the Omloope Het Nieuwsblad, in Belgium on February 24, the Strade Bianche on March 2) and the Milan-Sanremo on March 16. In April we will see him at the Itzulia, Basque Country, from April 1 to 6, at the Amstel Gold Race on April 14), the Fleche Wallonne on April 17 and Liege on April 21.

As was already suspected, and after knowing these dates, Tom Pidcock will miss the premiere of the XCO World Cup 2024 in Brazil and his first appearance could be on May 25 in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic.
