'It's my best shot so far' – Tom Pidcock sets sights on 'truly amazing' UCI Road World Championships victory
Pinarello Q36.5 rider to lead British squad alongside Adam Yates
Tom Pidcock, the British cyclist, is aiming to claim his "best shot so far" at victory in the UCI Road World Championships, which will take place on Sunday in Montreal, Canada. The 273.4km course, with 12 city-center laps, is well-suited to Pidcock's explosive style, as he won a similar event at Grand Prix de Montréal earlier this month.
The absence of reigning champion Tadej Pogačar, who is recovering from injuries, has opened up the race, making it more unpredictable. Two other strong contenders are France's Paul Seixas and Mexico's Isaac Del Toro. While Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert are also favored, Pidcock believes the climb may not be their ideal course.
The British cyclist has already secured five wins for his team this season, and will lead the British squad alongside his former teammate Adam Yates.
