Regarded as Britain's most versatile bike rider, Tom Pidcock joins presenter and former national road champion Matt Stephens for the Sigma Sports Cafe Ride.
Setting off on a drizzly morning in late November, Matt and Tom rode an easy route to a local cafe near his winter residence in Belgium. There, they discussed Tom’s goals for a jam-packed racing season in 2024, with plenty of laughs about aerodynamic vegetables and the hierarchy of biscuits along the way.
The ride concluded with a trip to the town of Boom to visit a cycling museum and to tackle a lap of the cyclocross circuit, where Tom won a World Cup race in 2022.

Tom is a legend at the age of 24. The descent of alpe d'huez will forever be one of the top moments in cycling, I had the pleasure to meet him at VIA in kings cross not long ago and he really is a an excellent chap. Cant wait for another legendary performance by Pidcock this year.

While the descent was epic; what is most important that he won the most coveted stage in the TdF. This guy’s future on road, cyclocross and mt bike is unimaginable. I’d like to see him win some road spring classics like Paris Roubaix, Flanders, etc

Our Tom loves 'is cake. Good lad. Halfwheeling at the cafe!!! Now Matt, peas are the least aero veg as they are a sphere and we all know round tubes and less aero. Clearly a parsnip is the most aero veg, look at the cross section. LOL Only Matt could come out with the "which biscuit would you be paid in" question. Classic Stephens. Never change Matt, never change.

Love this cafe ride series, especially hearing their thoughts and stories. Can't wait for the next one! This is why I love cycling - it's one of the few sports where the pros train in public and you might cross paths with them at a local cafe somewhere - love how accessible the sport is for fans. Wouldn't bump into an F1 driver out training in an F1 car!
