After racing a total of 422 kilometres and finishing in sixth place at both Il Lombardia in Italy on Saturday and the UCI Gravel World Championships in the Netherlands on Sunday, Great Britain's Tom Pidcock faced a flurry of questions about his decision to compete in both events on the same weekend. In response, he simply said, "Why not?"
"I like doing things that are different. Also, Pinarello came out with a new gravel bike, and it was nice that I could race on it this year. I tried to do my best here today," he said after more than four and a half hours in the saddle at the elite men's 180.9km race at Gravel Worlds in Maastricht.
