Tom Pidcock is one of the most captivating and talked-about professional bike racers in the current cycling landscape. The British cycling sensation has showcased his prowess across diverse disciplines, from dominating in cyclo-cross to conquering mountain bike races and excelling in road bicycle racing.
The English rider's journey began in his native Yorkshire, in the northeast of England. Surrounded by a family deeply passionate about cycling, Pidcock started riding at three and quickly fell in love with the sport. At only seven years old, he entered his first race at the Castle Combe track in southwest England.
As Pidcock's talent became increasingly evident, his parents accompanied him to national-level races. His breakthrough came at the British National Youth Road Series in Scarborough, where he won and gained recognition as a hill climber. From that point forward, Pidcock's transition to the senior level saw continued success, highlighted by victories in UCI Under-23 Cyclo-cross World Cup races and UEC European Cyclo-cross Championships. In 2017, he became the UCI junior world cyclo-cross champion, earning the moniker "mini-Sagan" (after Peter Sagan) for his dominant performance.
