Tom Pidcock says two teammates were hit by police motorbike driving against peloton at Tre Valli Varesine

British cyclist Tom Pidcock revealed during a post-race interview that two of his teammates were struck by a police motorbike traveling in the wrong direction during the Tre Valli Varesine race on Tuesday. The incident occurred early in the event, with the motorbike colliding with Marcel Camprubi and Thomas Gloag.

While Camprubi suffered minor injuries and continued racing, Gloag stopped competing and required stitches to his knee. Pidcock expressed frustration, calling the situation unacceptable and highlighting ongoing concerns about rider safety amid recent high-profile incidents involving vehicles on race courses.

The collision underscores broader discussions about traffic management in cycling events following last month’s fatal crash involving Finlay Tarling.
