The 26-year-old showed real strength about three weeks after suffering a high-speed crash on a descent during March's Volta a Catalunya when he misjudged a corner.

"With my injury and the time off, it's been difficult," Pidcock said after the stage. "Coming back is very hard mentally - even the first time I was dropped, it was tough to deal with. So this win feels really nice.

" Pidcock, who is famed in cycling for being a 'demon descender' - following his 2022 Tour de France stage win on Alpe d'Huez, in which he reached speeds of 100km/h - described the crash in March as "like one of these horror crashes you see... I lucky I could talk on the radio". The double Olympic mountain bike champion had been having a good season until the crash, narrowly losing out on victory at the Milan-San Remo monument race to Tadej Pogacar.

Pidcock is riding the Tour of the Alps in preparation for Sunday's monument Liege-Bastogne-Liege, before taking on the Tour de France for the first time for the team he joined last year. Meanwhile, Britain's Ben Tulett said it was a "big surprise" to finish third in the traditional build-up race to Liege-Bastogne-Liege, La Fleche Wallonne. Visma-Lease a Bike's Tulett, 24, just lost out near the top of the famous Mur de Huy climb in Belgium to the much-hailed new French talent Paul Seixas of Decathlon CMA CGM, who beat Switzerland's Mauro Schmid to victory.
