The wait for Tom Pidcock's second Grand Tour stage win continues, after he lost the reduced sprint into Matera on stage 5 of the Giro d'Italia. But the Q36.5 rider was satisfied with his third place, only lacking the "raw power" to come out of Mads Pedersen's (Lidl-Trek) wheel.
Pidcock had to launch from sixth position after the final corner, with Pedersen being led out perfectly again by Mathias Vacek. The Brit was then forced to slow down momentarily, as Pedersen gradually wound up his effort to the line, losing the momentum he'd already built up.
