Tom Pidcock & Puck Pieterse Will Race at Next Weekend's Nove Mesto XC World Cup

Tom Pidcock and Puck Pieterse have confirmed they will compete at the second round of the 2026 XC Mountain Bike World Cup in Nové Město, Czech Republic. Pidcock's appearance will be his first XC World Cup race since winning the Andorra round in July 2025, and his first time at Nové Město in nearly two years, as he targets the 2026 World Championships. Pieterse, returning from a period focused on road racing, is a regular at the venue where both riders have previously claimed multiple World Cup victories.
