Tom Pidcock is on the verge of a career-best Grand Tour finish after a battling performance on Saturday’s Bola del Mundo mountain stage confirmed the Q36.5 Pro Cycling leader’s third place on GC.
“I really don’t know what to say now, except that I’m pretty proud of myself,” Pidcock said after a stage when he managed to rebuff the efforts made by Jai Hindley (Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe) to eject him from third place on the Vuelta podium on the race’s final day in the mountains.
