There's something different about Tom Pidcock at this Vuelta a España. It's not just the tenacity, the best-ever general classification performance or the improved climbing legs, but a relaxed demeanour. It belies the fact that he might be under more pressure than ever; never before has the 26-year-old been this high up overall at a Grand Tour, and for a fifth day in a row he maintained it.
It wasn't just on any stage, either, but on stage 13, which finished on the Alto de L'Angliru, 12.4km at 9.7%, but with more than 5km over 11%. It's not for the faint-hearted.
