168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Pidcock has laid the blame for his disappointing performance during Saturday's stage 14 at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France on not eatꦍing enough during the arduous trek througꦿh the Alps.

The Briton finished the stage to Morzine 8:40 down on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:stage winner, Ineos Grenadiers teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Rodríguez, after droppi🌄ng toward𝐆s the top of the penultimate climb of the Col de la Ramaz.

He'd end the day dropping only three places on the GCꦇ – from eighth to 11th – but now finds himself well out of contenౠtion for a top five place, moving from 32 seconds away from fifth to 9:02 back on Adam Yates.

"I need to evaluate a little bit, but I t🥀hink I just didn't have enough energy," Pidcock told after finishing the stage. "Yesterday was a late stage, a late dinner, and 🌊I just couldn't really eat enough. It wasn't complicated."

Pidcock said that he had imagined going on the attack on the final climb of the day, the HC-rated Col de Joux Plane. But come the day, the mountain played host to another Jonas Vingegaard-Tadej Pogačar battle from an elite group of seven as the 23-year-old fought on minutes behind.

"It was very hard day. It's a shame really – I was full of confidence this morning," he said. "I envisioned doing this epic attack over the top of the Col de Joux Plane and we started full gas and I just didn't really have it in ⛎me."

Pidcock dropped away from the favourites group inside the final 2km of ꦅthe Col de la Ramaz with just over 51km left to race on the stage. With a deficit of 30 seconds at the summit, there was hope that his fearsome descending skills would bring him back into the picture in time for the stint in the valley roads ahead of the Joux Plane.

However, he instead found himself losing time on the way down and lying at two minutes down at the base of the final climb leading a small group including🌳 Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe), M♐arc Soler (UAE Team Emirates), and Dylan Van Baarle (Jumbo-Visma).

Up the road, Rodríguez was on his way to capturing Ineos Grenadiers' second win in two days following 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michał Kwiatkowski's stage 13 triumph to the Grand Colombier, but Pidcock was una🌜ware, having taken out his radio.

"I thought maybe I could save a bit over Ramaz and maybe come back but I was just cooked," he told CyclingWeekly. "Then I took my radio out so as I came backꦆ to the bus everyone was saying congratulations and I was thinking 'what is everyone saying congratulations for?' before I found out that Carlos won. That made [the day] a bit better."
