All the big names are letting us cycling fans know what they will be up to this year, and the latest is Tom Pidcock. The Brit’s spring road programme for 2026 was announced Friday. The Pinarello Q36.5 rider is going for a mostly similar plan for the year, with a few tweaks to set up his Classics ambitions.

Pidcock will begin his season in mid-February.

The Brit opens his campaign in Spain, starting with the Vuelta a la Región de Murcia before quickly turning his attention to Clásica Jaén—a race that has become a key early-season test for the Classics contenders. He’ll then line up at the Vuelta a Andalucía from Feb. 18-22. Then he’ll close off the month at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Feb. 28. That will be his first major one-day test of the year.

Pidcock is due to return to Strade Bianche on March 7, a race well suited to the MTB and ‘cross star. Next up is Milano–Torino on March 17, and Milano–Sanremo three days later.

His spring build continues at the Volta a Catalunya from March 23-29. According to the team. the stage race will serve as a final conditioning block ahead of the Ardennes races.

The rebrand for Q36.5 Pro Cycling

Pidcock’s team–also home to Sainte-Lucie-des-Laurentides, Que.’s Nick Zukowsky went through a rebrand for 2026. Previous bike sponsor Scott was replaced by Pinarello. But the Italian brand would not only provide bikes, it would become the title sponsor of the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team.

The team also revealed its sharp new kit for the 2026 season, which you can check out below.

Pidcock’s big goal for the spring seems to be the Ardennes Classics. He is scheduled to start with De Brabantse Pijl on April 17. Next up, the Amstel Gold Race on April 19 and La Flèche Wallonne on April 22. The campaign concludes at Liège–Bastogne–Liège on April 26, which stands as his key target of the spring.

“My schedule stays quite similar to previous years, but I’ve added a few new races to keep things fresh,” Pidcock said. “It also allows space for proper training blocks and periodization so I’m ready for the races that really matter.”

Zukowsky, who has been a strong presence at races where Pidcock is racing, should also once again be seen at the front of many of these races. In 2025, the former national champ was a tireless workhorse for his team. He also raced his first Grand Tour, La Vuelta a España, where Piddy took third overall. Zuke also said that he felt pretty darn good after finishing the three-week race.

“I was surprised with how I coped with fatigue,” he said. “I think I discovered something I can aim toward next season — maybe focus more on stage races and Grand Tours. Being part of a team on the podium is pretty incredible. It hit me at the finish line — really special emotions.”

Hopefully we can see the 27-year-old pro get a few shots of his own this year.
