The footage is another Pidcock display of descending<br \/>\nmastery, recalling the same audacity that earned him his most iconic road<br \/>\nvictory, attacking on the Col du Galibier en route to winning atop Alpe d\u2019Huez<br \/>\nat the 2022 Tour de France.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Pidcock, now in his debut season<br \/>\nwith Q36.5 after leaving INEOS Grenadiers, is expected to ride the Vuelta a<br \/>\nEspa\u00f1a later this year following a Giro d\u2019Italia campaign that fell short of<br \/>\nexpectations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite mixed results on the road<br \/>\nthis season, his skills on the bike remain unparalleled.

Then as you approach the<br \/>\ncorner, you want to be putting your outside leg straight, the pedal down, and<br \/>\nthen \u2013 it\u2019s a bit counterintuitive \u2013 put your weight on the inside of your<br \/>\nhandlebars, and that will lean the bike in.
