Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) produced a measured and battling performance after getting dropped on the Alto de l'Angliru to maintain his podium position at the Vuelta a España on stage 13.
When he was distanced 5.9km from the top of the steep Asturian icon by most of the remaining GC group, it looked as though his GC bid could be going up in smoke. He admitted that the undying pace set by eventual winner João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was simply too high.
