Pidcock has achieved huge success on Pinarello's off-road range over the last four years, winning world and Olympic mountain bike titles cross country on the Dogma XC. That bike was developed in hardtail and softtail models over the course of six months, specifically for him and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, who also achieved world and Olympic successes.
The 2022-year-old British athlete also triumphed on the Crossista F at the XNUMX UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships and will have that bike, along with the Grevil F, back at his disposal if he decides to compete in any gravel events. The only occasions when He won't be racing on a Pinarello, they will be at road events.
We are thrilled to confirm that Tom will continue to race our cyclocross, mountain bikes and cross country and gravel. He is an extraordinary rider with phenomenal technical skills and it was a pleasure to work with him on the Crossista and the Dogma XC, both models in segments where we hadn't had bikes for a long time. – The President of Pinarello Fausto Pinarello
So far, we have developed three cyclocross and XC MTB frames together and they have all exceeded expectations from the moment I sat on them, I couldn't have asked for more. I felt so confident that I was able to race and win after the first two rides. For me, our relationship feels more like a partnership than a sponsorship. I can't wait to race and develop more amazing bikes with Pinarello in the next three years – Tom Pidcock
