Just checked the nation ranking and it's possible depending on the years they use for qualification that they'd sneak a spot. In some ways though, it'd be a bit crap that some poor bugger puts in the leg work and Pidcock takes the spot.

I thought the qualification deadline was unchanged from the Original 2020 dates (ie everything since is actually for the 2024 games even though Tokyo hasn't happened yet!). Not sure when that was though....
It must be a bit rough but on previous, BC wouldn't send a rider unless they are in with a reasonable chance of a medal and Pidcock is the only male to tick that box.

Yeah that's why I was surprised to see TP put it out there. Perhaps there's one of those funny olympic rules whereby a rider can do the MTB race if they are in the road squad or something.
