This is how Tom Pidcock won stage 2 of the Vuelta a Andalucía

Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) used a powerful attack in the last kilometer to surpass his former teammates Brandon Rivera and Pavel Sivakov, among others, in an explosive finish and cross the finish line first. At the finish line, the British rider admitted that he made several mistakes in the first stage from which he luckily learned and was able to redeem himself the next day.

"I think yesterday I was a bit too ambitious, too active too soon, and I didn't respect the race or the route". "I paid for it in the end, which was unfortunate, but I learned a good lesson."

In addition, to celebrate his triumph, Pidcock allowed himself to do a whip on a speed bump just after crossing the finish line.
