Tom Pidcock Prepares for Tour de France TTT

Tom Pidcock leads Pinarello Q36.5 into the 2026 Tour de France with a strong team time trial effort on Saturday.

The 19.6km team time trial around Barcelona's iconic roads will require a strong start from Pidcock and his teammates.

Tom Pidcock has a host of riders to support him, including newly crowned British National Road Race Champion Fred Wright.

Pidcock will ride a unique black-and-gold Pinarello Bolide F time trial bike, updated in 2024 with AirStream technology.

The bike features a dual-stack, five-spacer system with custom one-piece bar extensions by Most and a full SRAM Red AXS groupset.

The Pinarello Bolide F has a 60T chainring and a 10-36T cassette via 160mm cranks, with a Wolf Tooth chainkeeper for added security.

The wheels are courtesy of Zipp, with an 858 NSW front and Super-9 solid rear disc wrapped in 28mm Vittoria Corsa Pro Speed tyres.

Pidcock has opted for a waxed chain and 3D-printed plugs to smooth the surface of the BB ends of both crankarms.

The Prologo Predator saddle is a popular choice for riders during time trials, thanks to its aero and ergonomically optimised shape.
