Tom Pidcock secured an impressive third place at La Flèche Wallonne, demonstrating resilience in harsh, wet conditions. Racing for Q36.5, he finished behind world champion Tadej PogaÄar and French cyclist Kévin Vauquelin. Despite battling the cold during the 205km race, Pidcock expressed satisfaction with his performance and noted areas for potential improvement on the steep Mur de Huy climb. This achievement boosts his confidence as he looks forward to the upcoming Liège-Bastogne-Liège, a race he previously excelled at, finishing second two years ago.
"I think definitely today was better. I was struggling in the cold, and I'm still pretty cold, so I can be happy with that, to be honest."
"In the end, I did a pretty good climb. I felt quite good. I think if I did it differently, I could've gone a bit faster, but I think Tadej was on another level today."
