Tom Pidcock had to settle for an eighth-place finish in at the UCI Cyclocross World Cup in Antwerp after an illness and first-lap crash made for a tough afternoon for the Briton. 

The Ineos Grenadiers rider was in top form last weekend when he battled to victory in the previous weekend’s World Cup round in Namur.
