Tom Pidcock's final-kilometre attack falls short in Milan-San Remo
Briton says 'maybe in another year' 🅺the late move could have worked

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Pidcock could see the finish line of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Milan-San Remo and almost smell the podium flowers of victory. He had followed a late m𝄹ove by Matteo Sobrero (Bora-Hansgrohe) and then struck out on his own with just 500 metres to go.
But the Briton wouldn't be joining the storied list of names of the 115th edition of La Primavera: 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:world champion Mathieu van der Poel n✅ullified the Briton's final-kilometre attack with 300 metres to go and then delivered his🉐 Alpecin-Deceuninck teammate Jasper Philipsen to the win.
Pidcock was philosophical after his 11th-place finish, a career-best following 15th in 2021 and a DNF two years ago🎶.
"I think it's a really difficult final to get right," Pidcock told Cyclingnews after crossing the line on the Via Roma. 😼"Down the Poggio, it's difficult to be in the perfect position. And then it🐻's also difficult to kind of be too far forward or too far back."
The 24-year-old was without teammates in the lead group after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Filippo Ganna suffered a mechanical on t🅠he desce⛎nt from the Poggio.
Elsewhere among the elite 12-man lead group which had formed over the top of the Poggoio, Philipsen had Van der Poel and fourth-placed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mads Pedersen had h🅘is Lidl-Trek teammate and former race winner Jasper Stuyven in the split.
It meant that Pidcock had to take𓂃 his chances with𒀰 whatever felt like the best move.

"In this sc🤡enario, it didn't really work out what I did. But maybe 🐼in another year, then I could win," he said.
"I didn't really plan on anything you know, in this final you just have to go with the instincts and t👍hat's kind of the best thing I can do."
He still has plenty of tim🥂e to add Milan-San Remo to his palmarès, however.
"This is the only second🤡 one I finished. It's a beautiful race and cert💙ainly one I want to try and win."
