Pidcock to Lead Strong British Team at Worlds, Eyeing Double
British Cycling names a 36-rider squad, with Pidcock and Backstedt set to lead medal bids after strong recent form and Pogačar’s absence.
- On Tuesday, British Cycling announced a 36-rider squad for the UCI Road World Championships in Montreal from September 20-27, with Tom Pidcock and Zoe Backstedt leading the British challenge.
- Performance Director Stephen Park described the team as "a highly competitive squad" showcasing the best of British road racing, featuring established world-class performers alongside rising talents.
- Pidcock won the mountain bike world championships last month and leads the men's road team, while reigning Under-23 time-trial world champion Backstedt steps up to the elite category.
- The absence of defending champion Tadej Pogacar, sidelined by injuries from a Vuelta a Espana crash, shifts the elite men's race dynamics; "Tadej is the hardest rider to beat, and he's not here," Pidcock said.
- Racing begins this Sunday with the elite individual time trials, and fans can follow the competition live across the BBC throughout the week in Montreal.
