British cyclist Pidcock is ready to make his Giro d’Italia debut, leading the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team in what will be both his and the team’s first appearance in a Grand Tour. The 25-year-old Olympic gold medalist isn’t focusing on the overall classification but has his sights set on individual stage victories.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for us as a team,” said Pidcock. “It’s something we’ve been aiming for, and now it’s become a reality.”
