VIDEO | Tom Pidcock hits 115km/h on incredible descent in new Red Bull clip

Tom Pidcock has reminded the cycling world of his fearless bike handling with the release of a stunning new video, showcasing his descent of the Rossfeld Panoramastrasse in Germany, at speeds over 100 kilometres per hour.

The Olympic mountain bike champion and Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team rider clocked a maximum speed of 95kph on the winding alpine road, even riding out of the saddle while producing over 800 watts on some stretches. The footage is another Pidcock display of descending mastery, recalling the same audacity that earned him his most iconic road victory, attacking on the Col du Galibier en route to winning atop Alpe d’Huez at the 2022 Tour de France.

Pidcock, now in his debut season with Q36.5 after leaving INEOS Grenadiers, is expected to ride the Vuelta a España later this year following a Giro d’Italia campaign that fell short of expectations.

Despite mixed results on the road this season, his skills on the bike remain unparalleled. In an interview with GCN last year, Pidcock shared insights into the technique behind his descending prowess.

“Building it up slowly without crashing while you’re learning the skills is really important,” he said. “Going on the drops is better, lower centre of gravity. Then as you approach the corner, you want to be putting your outside leg straight, the pedal down, and then – it’s a bit counterintuitive – put your weight on the inside of your handlebars, and that will lean the bike in. You don’t have to turn.”
