Tom Pidcock is making his mountain biking debut this weekend at the World Cup in Andorra, specifically in the Olympic cross-country race. He last participated in cross-country races during the 2024 World Championships, finishing third. Transitioning to the Q36.5 team has led to a focus on road racing, with significant participation in the Spring Classics and the Giro d'Italia. Although he cannot compete in Friday's short track race due to ranking issues, he has not set aside mountain biking in his racing ambitions.
Tom Pidcock's move from WorldTour to ProTeam level gives him freedom to race various disciplines. He emphasizes road racing importance while still valuing mountain biking.
Despite focusing on road races with Q36.5, Pidcock has not abandoned mountain biking. His first mountain bike race in 2025 will be at the World Cup in Andorra.
In the Spring Classics campaign and Giro d'Italia, Pidcock performed well, achieving a 16th overall finish and busy racing schedule, but is returning to mountains.
With his ranking insufficient for Friday's short track race, Pidcock will open his mountain biking season participating only in the Olympic cross-country event on Sunday.
