Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Professional Biking) was once victorious on degree 2 of the Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista Del Sol, as he stormed to a fourth victory of the season for his new workforce.

After an competitive day of racing which noticed the GC struggle kick off with round 80km last at the degree, the overall was once contested between a bunch of 5 riders, coming all the way down to a dash which Pidcock led out, maintaining the remainder at bay with a powerful flip of tempo on the end.

Brandon Rivera, of Pidcock’s former workforce, INEOS Grenadiers, got here thru in 2d position, whilst Pavel Sivakov (UAE Workforce Emirates-XRG) rounded out the rostrum, completing in 3rd position for the second one consecutive day.

The Frenchman’s consistency was once rewarded as he moved into the race lead, supplanting the day before today’s winner Maxim Van Gils (Purple Bull-BORA-hansgrohe). The Belgian was once stuck out at the ultimate descent from the day’s primary climb and may just no longer bridge again to the top of the race. He slips to fourth position within the GC, with Clément Berthet (Decathlon-AG2R L. a. Mondiale) in 2d general and Pidcock shifting into 3rd.
