I'm trying not to let my own opinion cloud my judgement, but I don't think Pidcock is that popular with UK cycling fans. He certainly hasn't cut through to be well known outside of cycling fans, in the way that Wiggins and Cavendish have.

If we had a home Olympics and if he won a shitload of medals & the TdF*, then he might become a household name. If that's what he even wants.
