Tom Pidcock<\/a> will ride Strade Bianche<\/a> for a fifth time on Saturday. As a former winner, one of the most skilled off-road riders in the sport, and runner-up to Tadej Poga\u010dar last year, the Briton naturally aims high every time he travels to Tuscany.<\/p>\n

Pidcock is in his second season with Pinarello-Q36.5, and he and the team appear to have improved year on year. The team’s core Classics squad prepared at altitude in Chile<\/a> for 25 days in February.<\/p>\n
