- The 22-year-old high fived fans before the finish line
- Pidcock is first Briton to take men’s elite title
Tom Pidcock made becoming the first Briton to win the men’s elite UCI cyclo-cross world title look easy as he broke away for a comfortable victory in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The 22-year-old from Yorkshire delivered on his status as race favourite to add to the junior and under-23 world titles he had previously won in this discipline, and adds another rainbow jersey to his collection a little over six months after taking Olympic gold on his mountain bike.
