Have you gone quicker than Tom Pidcock on a bike? TDF2022 cycling
Pidcock didn't make life easy for himself, missing the initial break and then bridging across on the descent of the Col du Galibier. In fact, he took the KOM by a significant margin. Chris Froome is the next TdF competitor on the leaderboard, the fellow Brit getting caught by Pidcock and then trying to cling on to his rear wheel.
Of course, Pidcock also had to climb at speed, he whittled down the breakaway group on the ascent of the Croix de Fer, averaging 21.1kph for the 22.5km mountain that averages 5.3%. That wasn't enough to snatch the KOM though,, who won the stage on that day? None other than Chris Froome. The elevation did offer some relief from the heat though, at low elevation Pidcock's data indicates a maximum temperature of 42 degrees Celcius but thanks to spending much of the 5-hour ride above 1500m the average was a slightly more manageable 33 Celcius.
