In the aftermath of his second career podium finish at the Amstel Gold Race, Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) acknowledged he 'lacked a little bit' in the final stages of the 253.6km event, where he rode to third place behind Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and runner-up Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost).

"I had absolutely nothing left at the end there," Pidcock said after Sunday's race. "I struggled with the distance perhaps this year but it was alright until then I guess."
