Tom Pidcock admitted that he and his new Q36.5 teammates have "some improving to do" after not entering the key Muur van Geraardsbergen climb at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in ideal position and only managing 38th at the start of the Classics season.
It was still an overall positive first WorldTour race for Pidcock on his new team after making a flying start to 2025, with the 25-year-old being active throughout the 197km with decent shape and his result only coming as a result of racing coming back together for a sprint.
