Olympic mountain bike champion Tom Pidcock won the World Cup event in the Czech Republic for the fourth straight year on Sunday, attacking solo on the fourth lap of the race to finish well ahead of Nino Schurter and Marcel Guerrini.

NOVE MESTO, Czech Republic — Olympic mountain bike champion Tom Pidcock won the World Cup event in the Czech Republic for the fourth straight year on Sunday, attacking alone on the fourth lap of the race to finish well ahead of Nino Schurter and Marcel Guerrini.

Pidcock, the reigning world champion, allowed Schurter and World Cup points leader Victor Koretzky to build an early lead, but the versatile British rider quickly pulled them back. He attacked on a short climb and established a lead, and Pidcock wound up crossing the finish line 32 seconds ahead of Schurter, the three-time Olympic medalist from Switzerland.“I can be quite pleased with that as my first race of the year,” Pidcock said.

Ferrand-Prevot also confirmed her favorite status for the Summer Games by dominating the women’s race, pulling away from Haley Batten of the U.S. to win by 1:02. Alessandra Keller was another 29 seconds back in third for Switzerland.
