Cyclo-cross world champion Tom Pidcock will make his return to racing on the dirt on 19 November at Merksplas Superprestige, Belgium. 

Pidcock hasn’t competed on the bike since the Tour of Britain, which was shortened due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II in early September. The Leeds-born rider hasn’t competed in cyclocross since decimating the field to take the world cyclocross title in the United States in January.
