Great descending skills are underrated in my opinion. Tom has skills like a motoGP and alpine downhill skier combined. Amazing.

Let’s not forget this was on his way to winning the stage to Alpe D’Huez. Doesn’t get bigger on the Tour. Chapeau!

Phenomenal descending from Pidcock. A joy to watch, the way he picks his route. You can really see his other disciplines working for him.

TDF rookie giving a masterclass. Epic. 

He rode the turns like they had berms, except they didn't. Riveting.

And he took a swig from his waterbottle! A masterful performance.

I have been watching tdf for almost 32 years and no one can beat this guy when it comes to the courage and the skills needed for downhilling

When they said he is also a MTB champ it clicked. Cornering - while such a simple thing - can take a lifetime to master and he just has way more practise.

[ssmmothers]

I did this descent a few weeks ago and was scared going 50 Km/h. Sharp corners, no barriers and crosswinds made it very challenging. I can only admire Tom Pidcock for his courage and skill!

Love the way Louvel reacts in surprise at 1:03 by getting up on the pedals to try and recover after Pidcock's done him up like a kipper.

Learnt that in the hills and dales of Yorkshire - Go Tom !!

[alanwllms]

The way he went past Froome was classic Valentino Rossi

[alesgrdjan]

Let's go for the descent race between Nibali, Mohoric, van Aert, Alaphilippe and Pidcock.

[a.sarmiento]

Awww ... should cover a whole clip of his descending. Mesmerizing!

[marccarter]

This in 35 years of watching racing is some of the best technical descending I have every seen. His climbing after was great. He disappeared after such a performance. Which is very normal. That makes me think that he is clean.

[johnweaire]

The best I have ever seen in 60 years of watching cycling !

[odbguy]

I don't know what was more amazing..
Tom's descent 🤯
Or the amount of variation in the spelling of his name, Pidcock on the subtitles 😂

[andreijosefsee]

still watching this since tadej pogaçar wins the tour de frnace🎉

[bertvanhoofstat]

I don't think that he necessarily chooses a better path through the corner than the other riders, as I hear the commentators suggest. To me it seems that he is just able to leaning into the corners a bit more and thus going through them at a slightly higher speed. I think he is just more confident in knowing what angle the bike and tires can handle.
