Team GB gold medallist and Ineos Grenadiers' rider Tom Pidcock will reject the chance to compete at the Giro d'Italia in favour of a return to mountain bike action at the World Cup events this month. The 22-year-old British rider will compete in two mountain biking events in May, one in Germany and one in the Czech Republic.
Richard Carapaz will lead a strong Ineos Grenadiers team at the 2022 Giro d’Italia. Ineos have won the race for the past two years, and Carapaz will be given the best chance to make it a hat-trick — and his second Giro victory after his success in 2019 in the colours of Movistar.

It was Kwiatkowski’s first classics win in over five years and his first success of any kind since that memorable Ineos Grenadiers one-two at La Roche-sur-Foron when the Pole crossed the line arm-in-arm with teammate Richard Carapaz in Stage 18 of the 2020 Tour de France.
“You can’t trump talent with money.” That’s the ominous warning for Ineos Grenadiers from Discovery Cycling expert Bradley Wiggins, who is urging the British outfit to make good on their vow to attack more. Ad/> Ineos’ vice-like grip on cycling’s biggest races has loosened since the emergence of Slovenian double-act Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Primoz Rolgic (Jumbo Visma), with their last yellow jersey at the Tour de France coming in 2019.
