24 hours after bravely battling with Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) at Strade Bianche, Tom Pidcock (Q36.5) was still tired after his huge effort, but his morale was high as he attended the big-rider Tirreno-Adriatico press conference.
Pidcock sat at the Italian race's top table, alongside Monday's time trial favourite Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers), sprinter Jonathan Milan (LIdl-Trek), Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), and GC favourites Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Jai Hindley (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).
