Strade Bianche 2023: Superb Tom Pidcock creates history as first British male winner of Tuscan classic
If ever there was a road race perfectly suited to the strengths of an Olympic mountain-bike gold medallist and former cyclocross world champion, it’s one that includes 63 kilometres of Tuscan gravel. And Britain’s Tom Pidcock added the race dubbed the “Sixth Monument” to his swelling palmares on Saturday with a fantastic solo raid over the famous white roads to win Strade Bianche with a brutal display of uphill prowess, downhill dexterity, courage and confidence.
