Tom Pidcock is not a rider to hide his ambitions and after taking an unexpected ninth place in the Vuelta a España's opening sprint stage on Saturday, he's aiming to be back in the fray again on Sunday's radically different terrain.
Stage 2 of the Vuelta features its first of no less than 11 summit finishes, but on a day with no classified climbs prior to the last Cat.2 ascent to Limone Piemonte, a knack for good positioning and a scorchingly fast uphill turn of speed, not to mention good form, will likely all be necessary for victory. And the Q36.5 leader certainly tickets all three of those boxes.
