Tom Pidcock describes Tour de France Stage 3 as 'Ridiculous'

Tom Pidcock, riding for Pinarello-Q36.5, described Stage 3 of the 2026 Tour de France (held around July 8, 2026) as 'ridiculous,' citing extreme heat and brutal conditions, with the team reportedly going through around 10,000 water bottles. Pidcock had been considered a contender for both Stage 2 and Stage 3 but chose to keep his team on the sidelines for Stage 3. UAE Emirates-XRG, led by Tadej Pogačar, took control of the stage, with the result going to a rider from the peloton following Del Toro's victory on Stage 2.
