Tom Pidcock is ready for a final weekend of ambitious racing as he makes his debut at Il Lombardia in Italy on Saturday and then targets the Gravel World Championships in the Netherlands on Sunday.
The Q36.5 team leader will dash for a flight north after battling with Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) on Saturday. The final Classic of his road season is his primary goal but a chance of adding a gravel world title to those in cyclocross and mountain biking is also enticing. Pidcock would be the second rider and first male to become the elite world champion in cyclocross, cross-country mountain biking and gravel, joining Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.
