Olympic champion Tom Pidcock rode away from Mathias Fluckiger to win the mountain bike World Cup race at Crans-Montana in a strong performance ahead of his turn with Ineos Grenadiers in the Tour de France. He will be back on the road bike this coming Saturday for the start of the Tour in Florence, Italy.

CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland — Olympic champion Tom Pidcock rode away from Mathias Fluckiger to win the mountain bike World Cup race at Crans-Montana on Sunday in a strong performance ahead of his turn with Ineos Grenadiers in the Tour de France.

Pidcock, who overcame some trouble to narrowly win the short-track race Saturday, had no problem on the cross-country course in southwest Switzerland. He finished in 1 hour, 26.28 seconds, giving him more than a minute on the rest of the field.“I made a couple of mistakes after getting my gap. I’ve got big things coming up and I don’t think my teammates would be too happy if I’d binned myself today,” Pidcock said.

In the women’s race, Lecomte broke through with her first World Cup win of the season, giving her a big shot of momentum as she begins turning her attention to the Olympic races on July 28-29 at Elancourt Hill just outside of Paris.
