[Rou]

Pidcock is the best puncheur in the world on steep ramps

 

[Netserk]

10 seconds to christen

 

[Samamba]

Pidcock looks pretty insane

 

[Netserk]

not enough for gc

 

[Tim Cahill]

Descent too fast and not long enough but should take the stage

 

[Tim Cahill]

They cut that corner so tight and quickly after the roundabout that I'm not surprised they came to difficulty.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great attack by Pidcock, should stick.

 

[Samamba]

not enough for gc

That was always mission impossible against Romeo

 

[Miha81]

He's got this stage.

 

[RedheadDane]

This time, Q36.5 got their win.

How about a compromise:

TP is the best puncheur in the world on steep ramps.

 

[Unchained]

Pidcock looks pretty insane

When he jumped, he just stayed on the gas and nobody could keep his wheel. He just gets a gap, sits down and gets to work, impressive win. Pidcock looking really fresh as he crossed the line.

 

[Rou]

Pogacar say hi

Pogacar needs an attritional race.
Fresh effort and a steep wall - my money is on Thomas. I am a Pog fan but a realistic one.

No, he doesn't. It helps him but Pidcock never sniff any explosive finish against Pogacar. It's not even close.
