Tom Pidcock seized victory on stage three of the Tour of the Alps, a triumph that arrives less than a month after a March crash in Spain that left him battling serious injuries. The British rider’s win comes amid a season packed with high‑profile races, including Milan‑San Remo and the upcoming Liège‑Bastogne‑Liège.

The crash, described by Pidcock as a "horror crash," saw him hit the ground at speeds that threatened serious damage. Recovering from that setback, he edged past rivals at the finish line, proving his resilience and cementing his status as a top contender for the monument races that follow.

Visma‑Lease a Bike’s Ben Tulett surprised spectators by finishing third at La Fleche Wallonne, a key build‑up race to Liège‑Bastogne‑Liège. The 24‑year‑old missed victory by a hair to Paul Seixas of Decathlon CMA CGM, who also beat Swiss rider Mauro Schmid on the Mur de Huy climb.

With the Alps race behind him, Pidcock targets a strong showing at Liège‑Bastogne‑Liège and a debut Tour de France with his new team. His recent form signals a return to peak performance, offering fans a thrilling narrative as the spring classics and Grand Tours approach.
