The 17-year-old Yorkshireman adds the win to his junior world, European and national cyclo-cross titles.
In addition to his cyclo-cross success, Pidcock has also taken wins on the road - claiming the La Philippe Gilbert Juniors and Junior Tour of Wales in 2016.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
