As the anticipation for the Paris-Roubaix builds, Tom Pidcock’s absence looms large. The Brit – who won the junior and espoirs versions in 2017 and 2019 – didn’t have the final cobbled classic on his race programme, instead opting to race Amsel as part of his preparation for the Tour de France. Now, a crash in Itzulia has put pay to that.
Still, with the cobbles of Roubaix calling the peloton, we felt it fitting to take a glance over the machine Pidcock rode earlier in the season – during February’s opening weekend.
This rig, tailored for the unforgiving terrain, mirrors what his teammates will ride, embodying Team Ineos Grenadiers’ strategy for the grueling race ahead – so just what have they changed ahead of cycling’s Sunday in Hell?

For the 2024 classics season, the Ineos Grenadiers have opted for the trusty Pinarello Dogma F, maintaining a minimalist approach to bike-bodging for the cobbles.
