  • Would have been awkward had he fallen off his bike.

    This lad really does appear to be the next big thing coming out of British Cycling

    Cant wait to see him on the road

    Yeah, don't think he'll be a grand tour contender, but he's built for one day classics

    Superb athlete, he was running up those steps yesterday with the bike @ 13 min 5k pace...

    He ran his home parkrun in 13.25 this year also.
  • Should be a darts or bowls player with that surname.

    13.25 is 5 seconds off the British Road record and Olympic class athlete material . I believe it is widely recognised that the time TP posted was down to a Strata calibration error.

    He was running close to 13 min miles yesterday with a bike...

    Even if the GPS data was out and it was say 15 mins i would love to be able to do it :)

    These riders are bloody machines.

    A great cyclist, if he stays fit he should have a very long and glittering career across many parts of the sport. Made for Paris Robaix

    Magnificent performance. The Belgians tried to work him over in the opening laps, but he timed his break well and rode away from them. The two main Cyclo Cross World stars Wout Van Aert and Matthieu Van Der Poel were both absent, which made him the favourite, particularly after his recent win at Hulst. But he took full advantage. 

    He might be a bit lightweight for Paris-Roubaix. But no reason why he can't go well in the Tour of Flanders, Liege-Bastogne-Liege, and the other Spring Classics, plus the Road World Championships at the end of the season.

    Nice to see the Cyclo Cross Rainbow Jersey on a British rider for the first time.

    There were a good 7-8 Belgians taking turns putting pressure on him but he rode them out.  

    Pidcock said that the absence of VdP and Van Aert actually put more pressure on him because more was then expected.

    Not so sure … I think he is a future Grand Tour contender … give it 3-4 years and we will see.
