S9 Ep35: Life in the Peloton – Tom Pidcock

<div>This week's guest is a young man who has made a big splash in his first couple of months racing in the World Tour.<br> <br> I knew the name Tom Pidcock because he's been racing on the coat tails of Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert in cyclo-cross for a couple of winters now, but I'd never actually met him or spoken to him before.<br> <br> But when I got a message to say Tom would love to come on the podcast I was really keen to find out more about a man whose reputation preceded him.<br> <br> We've all seen how well he's fitted in right at the top level in some of the Classics this season. Third place in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, fifth at Strade Bianche and right up there in Milan-Sanremo are results that pretty much anyone would be happy with but Tom is a 21-year-old neo pro.<br> <br> I must admit I probably had a preconceived idea of what Tom would be like. I thought his swagger off the bike would match his swagger on it. He's a confident guy, no doubt, but he was also really down to earth and a pleasure to chat to so I hope you all enjoy finding out a bit more about him. <br> <br> Cheers,<br> Mitch<br> <br> Photo by Sean Hardy <a href="https://twitter.com/hardyccphotos?lang=en">@Hardyccphotos</a>.<br> <br> <a href="https://audioboom.com/playlists/4630938-life-in-the-peloton-with-mitch-docker"><strong>Life in the Peloton 2020 playlist</strong></a><br> <br> <strong>Keep in touch with Life in the Peloton</strong><br> <br> Keep up to date with everything that’s going on with Life in the Peloton at my website <a href="https://lifeinthepeloton.com/">lifeinthepeloton.com</a><br> <br> <strong>Life in the Peloton shop<br> </strong>Check out my range of Life in the Peloton merchandise on our Etsy store too, from beanies and caps to embroidered tees, logo tees and much more. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LifeinthePeloton">Visit the Etsy store.</a> <br> <br> <strong>Or follow on social media:</strong><br> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lifeinthepeloton/">@lifeinthepeloton</a><br> Twitter: <a hr
