Pidcock's performance is insane. To come back from that puncture. Spectacular effort from AH!! What a race.

I reckon some words may be said about that last overtake though

I dont think he did much wrong. The gap was there to be taken.

Someone still has to update Pidcock's Wiki page 😁

Pidcock is a excellent bike rider. To close that 40second gap the way he did. Insane. Well done Alan! what a ride!!!

One of the better XCO races in a while... that was proper!

Nothing wrong with that bronze. #respect

The French like their protests, I wonder if we will see one for that maneuver from Pidcock. 

The guy is a great bike rider but I simply cannot stand him.

Hats off Alan!! Great ride 🥈

Awesome final laps. Tense and awe-inspiring

He did nothing wrong. There are two lines in that section of the course. VK went right Tp went left and accelerated. VK should have covered him off by accelerating ahead but reacted too late.

Was worth watching the feed just to see Piddy's overtake move. Masterclass. A very deserving podium.

Agreed. Not gonna lie, when I saw him take the inside line the only thing going through my mind was hoping both of them crash each other out and Alan comes flying past for gold.

 

Regardless, a bronze medal is a phenomenal achievement escpecially in that race. I couldn’t believe how long he held Pidcock’s wheel.

Yip, Pidcock attacked that corner and took it more aggressively with purpose and acceleration, Koretsky looked like he was caught out.

I agree, nothing wrong with that move. It looked worse than it was.

*** over built course. Never the less a great race.

Inside scoop ,the attached photo was my first choice for the Paris 2024 MTB venue. 

Course designers don’t have the final say in what happens during the construction phase. Hopefully this changes in the future.

Dm me if you have any questions on Course design.
