«Europe's most southern northern classic» is back for another year as the Tuscan dirt roads take centre-stage at Strade Bianche. With defending champion Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) absent, the likes of Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) will be looking to grab top spot on the podium in the men’s race.
Wout van Aert has revealed he will miss Saturday’s Strade Bianche after “not feeling very well” earlier this month. The Jumbo-Visma rider will instead start his 2023 road campaign at Tirreno-Adriatico, which runs from March 6-12. Ad In the Belgian's absence, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin–Deceuninck), Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers), Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) and Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal–Quick-Step) will be among the favourites to triumph on the famous white gravel roads of Tuscany.
Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) has the potential to be the “best of the best” but might have to park his cyclo-cross and mountain bike ambitions to become a “road superstar”, according to Eurosport expert Adam Blythe. Pidcock is one of the most versatile riders in the peloton and already boasts Olympic mountain bike gold, a cyclo-cross world title and victory on Alpe d’Huez after a descending and climbing masterclass at the Tour de France.
Tom Pidcock showed some masterful bike-handling during the final-stage time trial at the Volta ao Algarve. The 23-year-old Ineos Grenadiers cyclist drew on all his expertise in cyclo-cross to remain upright after a hair-raising moment on the 24.4km circuit in Lagoa. Ad Pidcock appeared to approach a roundabout too quickly, which sent him careering towards a rockface.
Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) says he is “fully built up” for the start of the road season for the first time in his career after a condensed cyclo-cross campaign. Pidcock missed out on defending his cyclo-cross world title earlier in February, instead choosing to bank a solid training block ahead of the spring Classics. In his absence, Mathieu van der Poel edged Wout van Aert in a thrilling duel in Hoogerheide, Netherlands.
Tom Pidcock finished fifth on Stage 1 of the Volta ao Algarve but was later relegated for an “irregular sprint”. The Ineos Grenadiers rider was a surprise participant of a bunch sprint after a 200.2km stage from Portimao to Lagos.
Three-time world champion Wout Van Aert lit up a freezing cold afternoon at the Sports Ireland Campus in Abbotstown, Dublin as he claimed round nine of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup before a 5,000-strong crowd - the first event of its kind in this country.
