Tom Pidcock has set his sights on the Tour de France for 2026, but before getting there, he'll focus on the spring classics, particularly Liège-Bastogne-Liège , which he called "the first major goal of the season. My program remains very similar to previous years," the 26-year-old Briton commented. "But we've added a few races to freshen things up a bit. I'll also have time to do some training and planning blocks to ensure I'm in top form for the races that matter most."

The Pinarello Q 36.5 rider will make his debut at the Vuelta a Murcia (13-14 February) then on 16 February he will be at the Clásica Jaén   and from 18 to 22 February at the Vuelta a Andalucia.  

Pidcock will then race the Strade Bianche on March 7 , a race he won in 2023 where he finished second last year, and will then take part in the Milan-Turin (March 18), the Milan-Sanremo (March 21) , before returning to Spain for the Volta a Catalunya (March 23-29).

From there, the Briton will contest the Brabant Arrow on April 17, before the Ardennes triptych: Amstel Gold Race (April 19), Walloon Arrow (April 22) and Liège-Bastogne-Liège (April 26) .
