Thomas Pidcock prioritizes mountain biking over cyclocross

British cyclist Thomas Pidcock appears unlikely to return to cyclocross for the 2026-2027 season. After opting out of the last two winter seasons, the Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling rider is prioritizing mountain biking, a discipline where he remains a major international competitor.

Pidcock has indicated that a return to cyclocross would likely depend on the discipline being included in the Olympic program. For the time being, he is focusing his energy and career objectives on mountain biking.
