Tom Pidcock is not racing Strade Bianche for a place on the podium behind Tadej Pogačar, he is racing to win.
True to character, the Q36.5 Pro Cycling leader remains defiant in the face of Pogačar's expected supremacy. Last year he was stunned by Pogačar's long-range solo victory but after a successful season debut with Q36.5, Pidcock has his mojo back. He will try to beat Pogačar by trying to find a weakness in his dominance.
