Pidcock ‘will try to have fun’ ahead of Van Aert battle

Tom Pidcock has battled through a gruelling schedule already this summer, but he says he’s got at least one last push in him as the Tour of Britain begins on Sunday.

The 24-year-old is among the leading contenders for the race, which is live on Eurosport and discovery+, but admits he was feeling the strain of a packed 2023 calendar after competing in the Tour de France and the UCI Cycling World Championships in Glasgow.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Pidcock said: “I’m not on top form but I really needed a rest as I went full gas from the Tour [de France] straight to the worlds in Glasgow. But I’m not in a bad place.”

Pidcock will be aiming to challenge overall favourite Wout van Aert for glory on the eight-stage race.

The Brit said: “I’ll give it my best. I always want to win but I’ll just try to enjoy riding with my mates and see what we can get out of it.

“I’m sure the atmosphere will be brilliant. It’s always great racing in front of home crowds.”
