Tom Pidcock produced another superb performance at Tirreno-Adriatico but was once again left disappointed and a little frustrated that he could have done better, and perhaps won the Queen stage of the Italian race.  

The Q36.5 Pro Cycling rider has been chasing a stage victory all week in Italy. He was second to Andrea Vendrame (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) in the reduced sprint on stage 3 in Colfiorito after surviving seven hours in the rain. He was then second again on Saturday's mountain finish to Frontignano in Apennines, just 13 seconds down on Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), who attacked alone to set up overall victory.
