Tadej Pogačar’s presence on the Strade Bianche start line on Saturday will change nothing for the defending champion, Tom Pidcock, according to his Ineos Grenadiers coach.
Pidcock returns to Tuscany this weekend after emphatically winning the one day Italian Classic 12 months ago. This time round, he’ll go up against Pogačar, who won Strade Bianche himself two years ago, in a similar fashion; both won from 50km solo attacks.
