Anyone else’s enjoy an Amstel Gold yesterday?
Great Britain's Tom Pidcock won his first elite World Cup mountain bike race, beating Dutch rider Mathieu van der Poel in the cross-country final in Nove Mesto, Croatia.It is the first World Cup victory for a British man since 1994.
UK cycling phenom Tom Pidcock has just won the Czech Republic round of the 2021 World Cup XC series. This is the first male XC World Cup winner from Britain for 27 years. The last UK winner of World Cup XC was actually only back in 2017 when Annie Last won at Lenzerheide. The last British male World Cup XC winner was the legendary Gary Foord in Mammoth Mountain in 1994, the era of the much longer but far less technically demanding XC racing.
Impressed that Thomas and Porte have both made it this far.
