‘I feel I could be happy with that’ – Tom Pidcock settles for second on Tour de France gravel stage


After the end line in Troyes, Tom Pidcock sat on a shaded kerb, staring on the flooring. His face instructed the story of the day. Dry and dusty, the pores and skin on his nostril seemed as if it’d flake off in small items, his facial hair powdered with dust from the gravel tracks. 

The minutes after the stage have been for his personal introspection. As the gang of press round him swelled in measurement, Pidcock selected to not utter a phrase. As an alternative, he moved slowly, swigging a darkish purple liquid from a plastic bottle, and attempting to keep away from eye contact. A workforce soigneur crouched on the tarmac beside him, respecting his want for stillness.
