Tom Pidcock has said that his plunge into a ravine at the Volta a Catalunya last month has not affected his famous descending prowess.
"It was just a combination of a few factors, and then it all went wrong," the Pinarello Q36.5 rider told Cycling Weekly ahead of the first stage of this week's Tour of the Alps. "So if one thing hadn't have happened, then I wouldn't have crashed. So it was an unfortunate event, it wasn't so much taking risks, or making a mistake or going beyond my limits. It was just a stupid accident."
