Tom Pidcock confirmed for Cyclo-cross World Cup Dublin
Cyclo-cross World Champion Tom Pidcock has confirmed that we will compete at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup Dublin stage on December 11th.
The British rider has confirmed he'll take the start line of the ninth stage of the competition, the first-ever stage of the Cyclo-cross World Cup to be hosted on Irish soil.
Pidcock opened his Cyclo-cross World Cup campaign in Overijse on November 20th, finishing second place after a thrilling battle with Michael Vanthourenhout.
The 23 year old is another huge addition to the Dublin stage start list after Wout Van Aert confirmed that he’ll take to the start in the Sport Ireland Campus.
The INEOS Grenadiers rider is one of cycling’s rising stars and has tasted success across three disciplines, including road and mountain biking.
Pidcock won a gold medal in cross-country mountain biking at the Tokyo Olympics last year and was one of the stars of the 2022 Tour de France as he won a mountain top finish stage on the legendary Alpe d’Huez.
Pidcock won two UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup stages last season in Hulst and Rucphen and finished on the podium of three other stages during the campaign.

The Team Jumbo Visma rider has confirmed his 2022/23 Cyclocross season programme, with next month’s Dublin stage included in his schedule for the rest of the year.
Van Aert is one of Cycling and Cyclocross’ brightest lights and has been in flying form over the past year, winning a remarkable nine of his ten Cyclocross events last winter.
A prolific road cyclist, the Belgian comfortably won the Tour de France points classification along with three stages over the summer.
Van Aert is among the first high profile names to confirm their participation in the Dublin stage of the Cyclo-cross World Cup, which will be held at the Sport Ireland Campus in Blanchardstown.
