Tom Pidcock, a top contender for the 80th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, transitions from Ineos Grenadiers to Q36.5 and has displayed impressive form with recent victories in Saudi Tour and Vuelta a Andalucia. Although he questions whether the Flemish race suits him, he remains optimistic about the season's progression leading up to the Tour of Flanders. The race features challenging terrains, including notable climbs, and offers Pidcock a chance to enhance his early-season momentum despite cautious expectations about landing a podium finish this year.
Pidcock stated, "Omloop Nieuwsblad is always an interesting race. It's the first one-day race where everyone can really gauge how they came out the winter."
Pidcock expressed, "If I could manage [a podium finish] I would be very happy because I don't think it suits me perfectly."
