After a crash at the Volta a Catalunya that threatened to set him back for several weeks, Tom Pidcock is set to return to racing after just 24 days, his Pinarello-Q36.5 team confirmed on Saturday.

The British rider will now ride the Tour of the Alps, which starts on Monday, with an aim to start Liège-Bastogne-Liège next Sunday. Before his crash, Pidcock was expected to race the Ardennes Classics this week, but post-injury, he will now ride the Italian-Austrian stage race as preparation for Sunday's Monument.
