Tom Pidcock: "We're going to give it everything to keep Carlos Rodriguez in 3rd"

Sadly for Tom Pidcock, the Brit fell even further away on stage 15 of the 2023 Tour de France. The INEOS Grenadiers rider now sits in 12th 16:53 down and looks set to divert his attention to helping teammate Carlos Rodriguez secure a podium spot.
"It was a super hard day," Pidcock said afterwards in conversation with ITV Sport. "We're going to give it everything to keep Carlos Rodriguez in 3rd now. I think he's cemented that today. He won yesterday, his first Tour victory and he's backed it up today and performed really well again. It's impressive."
For Pidcock, the race marks a first attempt at sustaining a general classification challenge at a Grand Tour and there is definitely something to build on. "Yesterday I was disappointed. A few things went wrong and I blew up. I didn't look after myself properly in the heat and I paid for it, yesterday and today but at least I give it my best shot."
