“We don’t have full control over the calendar – have to get invited [to races],” added Pidcock. “But in theory we should have all the races that I want to do.”<\/p>\n

He claimed one of the Tour’s most iconic stages in 2022, on stage 12’s race to Alpe d’Huez, where he famously reached speeds of nearly 100km\/h during the descents.<\/p>\n

Pidcock has also won the Strade Bianche, Amstel Gold and Brabantse Pijl one-day classic races in an Ineos jersey, as well as two Olympic mountain bike gold medals for Great Britain.<\/p>\n

Q36.5 are widely expected to be invited to many of the sport’s top races this year and beyond, thanks to Pidcock’s signing, and strong financial backing. <\/p>\n

The sport’s governing body operates a points-based system in which teams can be relegated and promoted between the World Tour and ProTeam level every three years. <\/p>\n

Pidcock will begin his season at the five-stage AlUla Tour in Saudi Arabia on 28 January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
