Race Recap
Pidcock wins Strade Bianche
Thomas Pidcock (IGD) was a man on a mission on the serrati after attacking his breakaway companion 50km from the finish in Siena and holding his advantage to the line. Valentin Madouas (GFC) was second and Tiesj Benoot (TJV) took third after 184km of racing through the Tuscan hills.
“It's gonna take some sinking in. When I went, that was completely not the plan,” Pidcock said to reporters at the finish. “That sector is normally the decisive place, so I was just riding hard. I got a gap on the descent and I just carried on. A few times they came too close and I thought I’d messed it up and gone so early,” he said of the chase group's painfully small gap with 5km remaining. The day was so fast all day and I thought if I get a gap and keep going it’s hard to bring back. Honestly in a lot of races recently there’s been a lot of motorbikes in front of the guys in front but today I didn’t have any motorbikes - I was hoping for a few more.”
