Tom Pidcock was set to test his climbing legs on stage 4 of the Volta a Catalunya but even though the big summit finish at Vallter 2000 was scrapped from the route the Briton played an active role throughout the day.
The Pinarello Q36.5 rider picked up bonus seconds 18km into the stage, then 18km from the finish, and on the finish line itself, as he even mixed it in the bunch sprint and came away with third place on stage 4.
