Tom Pidcock will go into the Tour de France targeting stage wins while leaving the pursuit of the top general classification placings to his Ineos Grenadiers team-mates.
The Yorkshireman told a pre-race press conference in Florence it would be too difficult to maintain a general classification push himself given his other aim of defending his Olympic mountain bike title, with the race in Paris just eight days after the Tour finishes in Nice. “I want to go and race aggressively and try and win some stages,” said Pidcock.
” Thomas, winner of the 2018 Tour, will be on the start line for the 13th time. The 38-year-old admitted it could be his last, but he is not interested in getting sentimental until it is all over. “I don’t really think about it, to be honest,” he said. “It could be for sure but I’ll just be focused on the race and what I’ve got to do. I’ll look back once it’s all done. I’m just super excited to be here.
