Tom Pidcock was Britain’s big hope for the rainbow jersey on Sunday in the elite men's road race at the UCI Road World Championships, but eventually finished in 10th place, after what he described as the most unenjoyable race of his season.
Pidcock led a strong team into the 267.6km race around Rwanda’s capital city, Kigali, and in the closing stages of the race found himself as part of a strong five man group pursuing a leading duo, including eventual winner, Tadej Pogačar. However, the Yorkshireman was unable to hold on, slipping out of that group, eventually fighting his way across the line some 9.05 down.
