Tom Pidcock finishes career-best fifth in UCI rankings with Pinarello Q36.5 bringing in major reinforcements for 2027

Tom Pidcock concluded his 2026 campaign at a career-high fifth in the UCI rankings, serving as the primary catalyst for Pinarello Q36.5 to secure 12th place globally. The ProTeam outperformed half of the WorldTour field by tallying nine race wins, including an individual stage victory for Eddie Dunbar at the Vuelta a Espana and five triumphs for Pidcock.

Following a season that saw him finish runner-up at Milan-San Remo and ninth at the Tour de France, Pidcock will continue to lead the squad in 2027. Team Principal Doug Ryder confirmed that the roster will expand significantly next year, with ten new acquisitions including Giulio Ciccone, Mauro Schmid, Ethan Hayter, and AJ August.
