Disaster for Tom Pidcock in Olympic mountain bike as Brit suffers puncture and desperately slow change
Mountain BikeMonday, 29 July 2024 at 14:55
Tom Pidcock's hopes of a second successive Olympic gold medal in the men's mountain bike have suffered a big blow on lap 4 as the Brit has had a very untimely puncture.
On lap 3, Pidcock made his big move, with Victor Koretzky the only man able to follow. With the pace unrelenting in the lead duo, the gap soon threatened to reach unassailable margins. Half a lap after attacking already around 12 seconds separated Pidcock and Koretzky to the rest of the race. With Pidcock suffering a flat front tyre though, the Brit was badly slowed early on lap 4 and with his team support not ready for him, Koretzky and the rest of the main challengers put considerable time into the reigning gold medallist. The fight is now on to get back into contention.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
