Tom Pidcock to Target General Classification in Vuelta a España 2025

Tom Pidcock, the British cycling sensation, has confirmed his participation in the Vuelta a España 2025, aiming to compete especially in the General Classification (GC) due to a route that suits his abilities well [1][2]. The cyclist is in peak condition and motivated, suggesting strong form coming into the race [2].

Pidcock's team for the Spanish Grand Tour is expected to be the INEOS Grenadiers, as he has been riding for them in recent years, although this was not explicitly stated in the search results [2]. This participation marks a significant moment for Pidcock, as he aims to prove the progress from his choices during the season and make a mark on the GC [2].

Pidcock has already had some Grand Tour experience but sees this as a key opportunity to establish himself as a contender in these majors [2]. The Vuelta a España route is said to suit him perfectly, indicating a course with significant climbing challenges that suit his all-around capabilities [1].

In addition to Pidcock, Q36.5 Pro Cycling will field an eight-man team for the Vuelta a España. One of the riders joining Pidcock is David de la Cruz, who is looking forward to getting his own chance in the Vuelta a España when it presents itself. De la Cruz has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to race in the Grand Tour, as it helps the team grow [3].

De la Cruz has also shown his support for Pidcock, as he did in Tirreno Adriatico, where he helped him in his race. De la Cruz is excited about the opportunity to race alongside Pidcock in the Vuelta a España [3].

Alex Sans Vega, head of racing for Q36.5, is curious about how far Pidcock can go in the Vuelta a España general classification. Sans Vega is confident that the team has prepared well for the race, including an altitude camp and the Arctic Race of Norway [1].

The Q36.5 team is excited to start the Vuelta a Espana in Piemonte this Saturday, and they are confident for a good team performance [4]. Tom Pidcock has won five times this season, most recently on stage three of the Arctic Race of Norway, suggesting a strong showing in the Vuelta a España [1].
