The XCO World Champion showed off his rainbow jersey and won the last XCO World Cup of 2023. Tom Pidcock took the victory at Mont Sainte Anne after a very tough race, both for the conditions and the level he encountered in the race, and he did it with the Pinarello Dogma XC he has been riding all season.

This is how Tom Pidcock's Pinarello Dogma XC finished after winning the Mont Sainte Anne 2023 XCO World Cup.

Pidcock put its Pinarello Dogma XC to the test in the toughest racing conditions

British rider Tom Pidcock surprised us all with the commitment to include in his final season calendar the last two World Cup races, Snowshoe and Mont Sainte Anne. Two events that require long journeys, important time changes and where some of the favorite riders have preferred to skip them in previous years. But the World Champion did not shirk his role and in Canada showed why he is the current holder of the rainbow jersey.

It wasn't easy for him, but Pidcock was back to his best in the last World Cup of the year: "This week has been difficult, it's been a long season. I was tired, it was a bit difficult."

 

The victory was achieved on the Pinarello Dogma XC that the Italian manufacturer has developed specifically for him and his partner Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, and this time he subjected it to one of the hardest factors for a mountain bike and all its components: the mud.

The Dogma XC is also equipped with components not yet available from Most, a Pinarello brand, such as the integrated handlebar and the Priceton P1 wheels.

The Pinarello Dogma XC was introduced this year, only available to INEOS Grenadiers riders, and is the first MTB in a long time from Pinarello. A very original bike, with cutting-edge technology and which already has victories in World Cup and World Championships.

The Pinarello Dogma XC frame features a third triangle just above the bottom bracket, with this design they have gained extreme stiffness in one of the key areas and have managed to almost completely eliminate any twisting. The downside of this type of shape is that it can harbor dirt or mud on days like the one they encountered in Canada, but this image is proof that while the chainstays or top tube did accumulate mud, the triangle above the bottom bracket remains open.

 

It's amazing that the drivetrain was still working well with the amount of mud accumulated that can be seen on the cassette and chainrings. A great advertisement for the Shimano XTR group.
The Vertical Helium seatpost and SR Suntour TACT (electronic) shock also performed perfectly in the harsh muddy conditions.
Axon 34 Werx fork, Pidcock has been helping to develop this electronic suspension introduced earlier this year for at least two seasons and of course it has been the only system mounted on the Dogma XC.
