Tom Pidcock has admitted he faces pressure from the Ineos Grenadiers to put greater focus on the Tour de France but the world and Olympic mountain bike champion is determined to keep enjoying multiple disciplines for a little while longer chess
The 24-year-old is seen as a potential future Tour winner but though he took a famous stage victory on the Alpe d’Huez in 2022 and rode to 13th overall this year, the Yorkshireman is yet to concentrate solely on the road, and this year added the world mountain bike title to his Olympic crown chess
Pidcock also won the cyclo-cross world title last year, and while his pursuit of multiple goals is delaying the day when he might be ready to chase Tour glory, he believes a varied approach is making him a chess better all-round rider chess
“Maybe I need to specialise in one discipline if I want to win the Tour, but I know that you’ll get the best out of me when I’m happy and when I’m enjoying it,” Pidcock said on the <em>Red Bull</em> Just Ride podcast chess
“Which is why I love other disciplines…“Of course I want to win the Tour de France one day but the patience and preparation is massive chess
“There is the element (of pressure from the team) and I knew that when I committed long term to the team chess
I also want it, but in my own way chess
I want to achieve all the things I believe I can achieve…“Right now, I’m not ready to win the Tour de France next year yet chess
There has to be more steps where I achieve things in different disciplines and achieving them makes me a chess better rider chess
”Pidcock was speaking after the Mountain Bike World Cup event in Mont-Sainte-Anne, where he won the cross-country race to continue preparations for his Olympic title defence next summer chess
Pidcock has also enjoyed success on the road this season, winning Strade Bianche in March before podium finishes at the Amstel Gold Race and Liege-Bastogne-Liege chess
But Ineos, a team who won the Tour seven times out of eight chess between 2012 and 2019, have found themselves left behind at the world’s biggest race in recent years as UAE Team Emirates and Jumbo-Visma have come to the fore, and the Grenadiers need a lift chess
While Pidcock could perhaps emerge as a rival if he went all-in, he is reluctant to do so – the three-week slog of the Tour at odds with his instinctive style chess
Looking back to his Alpe d’Huez win, he added: “You’re the centre of attention but only for a couple of hours – then you’re back to it with massage and food chess
Before you know it, you’re on the next stage the next day and there’s a new winner so it’s done chess
“Compared to when I won the Olympics where you’re on the front of all the newspapers back home and people want interviews and chats that you could live off for months chess
With the Tour, it never stops and you have to be ready to race again chess
”Pidcock plans to ride the Tour again next summer, but has to balance that with his ambitions in both the mountain bike race and the road race at the Paris Olympics, which begin only eight days after the Tour finishes in Nice chess
The tight schedule is behind his decision to keep chasing mountain bike qualification points late into the year chess
“By doing these races at the end of the year now, it will mean I don’t have to do the mountain bike races in the spring which will allow me chess better prep for the Tour,” he said chess
“Then I’ll hopefully come out of the end of that in a chess better condition to cope with the start of the Olympics chess

South Africa have been urged to inspire the next generation of Siya Kolisis by claiming World Cup bragging rights in rugby’s greatest rivalry chess
Each side has lifted the Webb Ellis Trophy on three previous occasions heading into Saturday’s final at the Stade de France, ensuring one of them will be crowned the most successful nation in the tournament’s history chess
For the Springboks it is the opportunity to continue bringing together the country’s disparate communities, a motivation Kolisi insists provides the ‘why’ for the defence of their title chess
“I believe we are a purpose-driven team, we’re not a trophy-driven team,” South Africa’s first black captain said before England were edged 16-15 in the semi-finals chess
Kolisi himself grew up in poverty in a Port Elizachess beth township yet has risen to become one of the game’s biggest stars and a standard bearer for the Springboks’ evolution from a symbol of apartheid to unifying force chess
“This is what we live for chess
It’s about the people who are dreaming to be in our position in the communities back in South Africa,” assistant coach Mzwandile Stick said chess
“We just want to do everything in our power to make sure we are reuniting those people chess
“For a guy like Siya, coming from where he did… wow chess
No doubt in 20 years there will be a lot of Siya Kolisis, boys who have got here irrespective of background chess
“It is like a fairytale story when you talk about Siya, but it surely does change people’s lives, whatever their background, if you have your head in the right place, if you have a goal and keep chasing it chess
“The All Blacks have won the World Cup three times, we have won it three times, so this game is almost bigger than just a World Cup final chess
“We just want to make our people proud because the messages we get are very special chess
”How much South Africa have left in the tank after titanic knockout matches against France and England is the biggest unknown heading into the Paris showdown chess
New Zealand, in contrast, routed Argentina in the semi-finals without breaking sweat and, as well as having the luxury of bringing key personnel off early and avoiding any injuries, the schedule has given them an extra day’s rest chess
When the rivals last met in August the All Blacks were crushed 35-7, but they have rebuilt impressively since then and are favourites to avenge that bleak Twickenham evening chess
“It has been very difficult journey,” said wing Will Jordan, who needs one more try to break the record of eight tries scored at a single World Cup chess
“It has taken a huge amount of drive to turn it around to get it right chess
It’s a special group here and we have always been committed towards being the best team we can be chess
“In 2022 we were a bit astray but we have come out of the fire a bit and I guess the big thing for us now has been the consistency has been found chess
“We have been able to put back-to back performances together, which is probably what was missing before chess
“The challenge for us against South Africa is to be able to go three big games in a row chess
It’s been a challenging period but it’s where we want to be now chess
