Olympic mountain bike champion Tom Pidcock will be bolstered in his bid to add the world cyclo-cross title to his growing list of accolades by a fellow Yorkshireman next weekend.

For Ben Turner, a 22-year-old from Doncaster, will ride in support of and alongside 22-year-old Pidcock, from Leeds, as the former junior world champion seeks to land the senior title at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas, from January 28-30.

Pidcock is hoping to become Great Britain’s first elite cyclo-cross world champion and heads to America in fine form, following World Cup victories this season in Rucphen and Hulst.
