    Amazing from Tom Pidcock
  • RothkoRothko
    if you watch the Netflix TdF documentary and the one about Pidcock, you’ll know what a monster that man is on a bike, supreme 
  • GribboGribbo
    Looks like ol Frenchie tried to knock Pidcock's rear wheel once he passed?
  • AllHailTheHenAllHailTheHen
    That was fecking unbelievable. Incredible from Pidcock to make up that much ground. Thought he'd had it after that puncture.
  • stonemusestonemuse
    Just stunning. He’s so superb 
  • stonemusestonemuse
    Never gives in

    That last passing move from Pidcock was insane. Well deserved gold after coming back from a puncture.

    Agree, once I get a puncture, it's nunight....

    Horses, cycling, we're a nation of great riders of things. 

    Wonder how we fare in the Olympic village on that front, though the beds are made of cardboard so I doubt much goes on 😂

    Just proof we're bloody good at any event which involves sitting down :D

    Probably late to the party but just seen our women have beaten SA to reach the Rugby Sevens' quarter finals.

    I thought Pidcock would be one of the main favourites to get a gold for Team GB but I didn't expect him to do it in quite that fashion. Unbelievable ride.

    We're not having much luck with tyres so far
    Not a ‘good year’ for our cyclists 😆😉

    Plus the Aussie in silver was on a borrowed British horse apparently?

    All the more impressive in that Pidcock had to withdraw from the Tour 2 weeks in with Covid. Guy's got cajones of steel and the bike handling skills to back it up.

    Pidcock getting booed at the medal ceremony, stay classy France.....

    You can see why he’s such a good descender in road races

    40 seconds behind after the puncture - absolutely amazing.

    Didnt realise it was Tom's Birthday tomorrow... What a present that is!!

    Edit: Glad he's mentioned the booing, whoever did it should be ashamed, thats not the Olympics!!
  • ct_addickct_addick
    Don't know the rules but the move to overtake did cause the French guy to unclip.......amazing comeback by Pidcock
  • swordfishswordfish
    Fair play to the Frenchman if not the crowd, who I'm sure we're expecting him to appeal hoping the commissioners would find for the host nation, to either relegate or DQ Pidcock. The rules are clear, but we all know how contentious decisions can come out of racing incident complaints.

    Clean sweep of the medals if they had remote control channel hopping.
  • swordfishswordfish
    So Tom, Tom and  Tom have all  won medals today. What can we expect from the pipers son I wonder?
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    Didn't see anything wrong with the Pidcock move myself... there was a fork in the road, one went left, the other went right.

    Will have to watch it back, but Pidcock looked ahead when they came out of it, and had his front wheel in clear air, when the Frenchie clipped him

    Clearly the crowd thought their man was impeded. I'm not arguing there was anything wrong with it, but I was half expecting a frivolous appeal on his behalf, on the off chance they'd go to VAR.
