"For sure, the Olympic cycle is four years so I think definitely the next two years is really key for Tom to explore his limits on the road and how far he can get... He can score in the Classics, he can score in the Grand Tours," said Pidcock's coach Kurt Bogaerts. This indicates a clear focus on maximizing potential in road racing without distractions from off-road biking.
"I don't say completely no to off-road but it will be more in function of his road goals and Tom said it himself that he wants to try to be the best possible on the road... we have never really had the ideal preparation so we don't know his limits on the road," highlights the necessary shift in focus for Tom Pidcock towards proving himself as a road rider.
