Pidcock Reflects on Pogacar Duel, Tour de France

Tom Pidcock, the British rider and unvarnished free spirit, is in a good place heading into next month's Tour de France. When discussing his epic duel with Tadej Pogacar at the Milan-San Remo classic in March, Pidcock's vivid descriptions make the experience almost tangible, including his remark about how it felt to chase down what many consider the greatest cyclist of his generation.

The 23-year-old, who recently left Ineos, can't help but smile when recalling how a bloodied Pogacar went 'nuclear' on the final climb during their dramatic encounter. Pidcock's reflections come as he prepares for his first Grand Tour, with many wondering if he can translate his one-day race success to the three-week challenges of the Tour de France. chickenroad.qpon
