Britsh cyclo-cross talent Tom Pidcock will be bringing his cycling strength and skill to the road with the under-23 development squad Team Wiggins in 2018.
Pidcock, 18, is a junior world champion in cyclo-cross. He has had a standout season in the under-23 ranks, winning cyclo-cross World Cups in Koksijde, Bogense and most recently in Namur. He has also won Superprestige races Niels Albert and Gavere and the DVV trophy series’ Koppenbergcross.
Telenet Fidea Lions announced in June signing Pidcock on a two-winter contract that began on October 1. He will then compete with Team Wiggins during the road season.

The team, owned by Bradley Wiggins, will support only under-23 riders next season. Pidcock will be one of 18 riders supported during the year. Most of the riders are from Great Britain, with the addition of riders from France, New Zealand and Ireland.
