Tom Pidcock UCI Mountain Bike World Championships crashTom Pidcock crashes, finishes fourth at UCI Mountain Bike World Championships
Tom Pidcock's quest to add a cross-country mountain bike rainbow jersey to his cyclocross world championship ended with the 23-year-old finishing off the podium having crashed on the penultimate lap in Les Gets.
In truth, the fall did little to affect Pidcock's finishing position, having already dropped off the pace set by eventual winner Nino Schurter and podium finishers David Valero and Luca Braidot, but topped off a disappointing day for the Brit.

The rider who competes for Ineos Grenadiers on the road, and won the Alpe d'Huez stage of this year's Tour de France, fell while rounding a bend in the forested section of the penultimate lap.

Despite a quick remount and no damage done, Pidcock was unable to close the gap to the three ahead, as Schurter won his tenth world title...

In the women's event, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot won the rainbow jersey ahead of Jolanda Neff of Switzerland and Haley Batten of the United States. Annie Last was the first British rider home, in tenth place, one position ahead of teammate Evie Richards.

Never fast enough to take things on the bike too seriously, when he's not working you'll find him exploring the south of England by two wheels at a leisurely weekend pace, or enjoying his favourite Scottish roads when visiting family. Sometimes he'll even load up the bags and ride up the whole way, he's a bit strange like that.

Exactly. Every road death is a tragedy but this is at the "twat deserved it" end of the spectrum, looking at the state of that car.

I'm not the editor of this article, nor indeed of anything on this website. One would have thought that didn't require explaining.

I think the answer is in your question. I genuinely didn't know he was married to her. It does kinda explain it. Disappointing, nevertheless.

That certainly wouldn't have been cool, but they didn't. I watched it from start to finish, didn't happen. This isn't the first time you've made up...

In a perfect world, we'd have a measure of how easily distracted someone is, as part of their driving test....

These products are nothing but ridiculously expensive and superfluous, and they bring nothing but bragging rights....

Of course they are, and not so different. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09B662CDN?crid=34M42BETAMFT0&th=1 The bugger's got four versions up now!

At least the van driver was nowhere near the stationary cyclist.

The BMX racers are also no longer being supported. Kye Whyte said he's lost his GT sponsorship. It also looks like GT will no longer make BMX bikes.

Really?! Two sentances on the womans race is all you've got? So much for it being 2022
You want another one.
Pauline crushed the oposition.
The result of the men's race only gets half a sentence. It's an article about Tom Pidcock.
I love the new era of the all-rounder. It's not that long since cycling was highly specialised with super-large teams in the GTs to cover every specialisation within a tour.
A crash I could emulate. Nevermind that Tom, you will just have to satisfy yourself this season with the other WC and the Tour Stage where you were photographed descending like a ****ing Spitfire!
And he got the European championship last weekend, breezed it.
Still the road worlds to come 🤞
And the cross worlds ? Or was that this year already ?
His wardrobe is pretty packed with winners jerseys already whatever.
