Tom Pidcock carrying "bigger ambitions in this race in the future after this"

Tom Pidcock has made his race yesterday by winning the final stage in the Alps, however the INEOS Grenadiers rider admitted that he's still looking for more success at the Tour de France, after finally showing his best form and consistency.

Pidcock told the media after his win: "I just have become very used to riding a bike in situations where it’s on the limit of control. I grew up riding my bike. I rode to school every day. I’d detour through the woods, drifting in the mud and I’d come home and my uniform was completely dirty.”

However, he admits he's not done yet. “I’ve won a stage of the Tour so I’m pretty satisfied. But yeah, I compare myself to Pogacar and these guys. I have bigger ambitions in this race in the future after this," he said.
