"I think it's the biggest opportunity" - Tom Pidcock determined to make World Championships move in Montreal as open race expected

Tom Pidcock is set to lead Great Britain's challenge at the UCI Road World Championships elite men's road race in Montreal on Sunday, 27 September 2026, over a 273-kilometre course. The Pinarello rider, who already holds rainbow jerseys in cyclocross and mountain biking, is targeting his first road World Championship title in what is expected to be an open race. In the lead-up to the event, Pidcock suffered a bee sting during training that caused significant swelling to his lip, though he confirmed he was fit and ready to compete.
