After a couple of quiet performances at Brabantse Pijl and the Amstel Gold Race,
Tom Pidcock was right back in the mix for the win on Wednesday afternoon at
La Fleche Wallonne 2025. Although
Tadej Pogacar was a dominant winner, Pidcock put in a career-best performance on the Mur de Huy behind to finish on the final podium in 3rd.
In the past, Pidcock had twice DNF'd La Fleche Wallonne, with a 6th placed effort from back in 2021 his best previous effort. "I think definitely today was better," he said in a post-race interview with
Cycling Pro Net at the finish line, content with his 2025 ride in comparison to previous participations. "I was struggling in the cold, and I'm still pretty cold, so I can be happy with that, to be honest."
