Tom Pidcock wants to target stages and "see what happens on GC" at this year's Tour de France

Tom Pidcock, who won atop Alpe d'Huez last year after a descending masterclass, said he would target stage victories again as he isn't feeling to be "good enough" to fight for the highest places in the GC.

"Of course I want to try and win," Pidcock told Eurosport after being asked whether he was targeting GC or stages. "I’m not good enough to win the GC this year, I can tell you that. But I want to try and win some stages and then see what happens on GC."
