I think you alone manage to make up for the entire forum's anti-British bias.

wins a stage in his off-season during the Gravel Burn in South Africa. I doubt he would have been able to race there if he was still at Ineos.

I think he's on holidays there. less pressure, racing for fun, it's fine. I wish VDP did the same and not race CX this winter

They're not paying enough this early in the season for appearances

it if wasn't already obvious, no more cross for pidcock for the foreseeable. says he found it the most hardest discipline, as least naturally gifted, and the most difficult to get up for...winter, living away for christmas etc.
Will probably do more gravel in the off season as he did with the burn in SA, and mountain bike worlds next year.

I expect then a slower build up next year. considering he was near top form at alula/stade.

so I'd like to something like

jaen/andalucia - algarve
strade - tirreno - msr
basque
agr - fw - lbl

nove mesto mtb

Dauphine/suisse
tdf

les gets/worlds mtb

italian classics.

The real test is finding races that suit him that pog won't be doing. (as with everyone else)
