Tom Pidcock gave another spectacular display of his bike handling skills on the final day of the Volta ao Algarve, but otherwise found his time trial bike to be an awkward beast to tame, and slipped out of the overall lead to finish the week in sixth place. 

Pidcock's chances of hanging onto the podium or even the yellow jersey were shrouded in mystery given his lack of experience against the clock.
