Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) continued his impressive Classics campaign with third in Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne on Sunday. The British rider made it into a key break in the latter stages of the race and then powered to the line to finish just behind winner Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) and Anthony Turgis (Total Direct Energie). 

The result comes after the Ineos rider went on the attack several times in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday.
