With Liège-Bastogne-Liège just four days away this Sunday, a victory for Tom Pidcock (Pinarello Q36.5) on stage 3 of the Tour of the Alps has come at the perfect time, but he confirmed post-race that he is still well away from his best.
He revealed at the finish that he was dropped on the first 22km climb of Wednesday's stage, and only after coming back in the cars and making it to the second 14km categorised ascent of the day did he start to believe a win was possible.
