Pidcock has been sidelined since a crash during Stage 5 of the Volta a Catalunya on March 27, which resulted in a knee injury. After a period of recovery and careful rehabilitation, he is now set to resume racing at the five-stage Alpine event, running from Innsbruck to Bolzano on a demanding parcours that features punchy profiles and significant climbing throughout.

The Tour of the Alps will serve as a key benchmark in assessing Pidcock’s condition ahead of his next scheduled objective, Liège–Bastogne–Liège on Sunday, April 26. His race program remains flexible, with day-by-day evaluation planned based on his sensations and, in particular, the response of his injured knee under race conditions.

The Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team will approach the race with a balanced and experienced line-up, supporting Pidcock while also targeting stage opportunities across the varied terrain.

Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team – Tour of the Alps roster:

• Matteo Badilatti
• Walter Calzoni
• Mark Donovan
• Chris Harper
• Damien Howson
• Tom Pidcock

With its mix of short, intense stages and mountainous profiles, the Tour of the Alps provides an ideal platform for Pidcock to regain race rhythm while allowing the team to remain competitive across multiple scenarios.
