Pidcock has options in the third week of the Tour de France: ‘I’m also far enough back’

Tom Pidcock (Pinarello-Q36.5) delivered a strong performance in the Tour de France time trial on Tuesday, 21 July 2026, finishing twelfth overall and just one second behind Filippo Ganna. The result moved Pidcock up to eighth in the general classification, with the British rider describing it as potentially his best time trial ever, noting he had the fastest time up the climb before descending cautiously. Pidcock appears to have a strategy in place for the third week, acknowledging his position in the GC gives him tactical freedom.
