'I think there will be a cost, a bill will come' – rivals unworried by Tom Pidcock's GC leap at Tour de France

Tom Pidcock at the 2026 Tour de France.

Despite just nine seconds separating Tom Pidcock from the Tour de France podium after stage 13, rival teams professed that they were not worried by his rise.

After infiltrating the day's break, the Pinarello Q36.5 rider ended up gaining 7:34 on his general classification rivals, which moved him up to fourth. He's now seven seconds ahead of Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek), 20 seconds ahead of Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM), 29 seconds ahead of Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), and seven seconds behind Remco Evenepoel (also Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).
