UCI Road World Championships 2026: Tom Pidcock's got history in his sights in Montréal - "Becoming road world champion would be truly amazing"

British cyclist Tom Pidcock will compete in the UCI Road World Championships 2026 road race in Montréal on Sunday, 27 September, aiming to become the first man to simultaneously hold the mountain bike cross-country and road cycling world titles. The 27-year-old recently claimed the mountain bike cross-country world title in Italy and sees a golden opportunity with two-time reigning road world champion Tadej Pogačar absent after crashing at the 2026 Vuelta a España. Pidcock described the prospect of becoming road world champion as 'truly amazing' for his career.
