That sounds like the most well-deserved gold medal so far! To win an Olympic gold, even with such a handicap, is outstanding.

If anything the French rider collided with Pidcock, rather than the other way round.Edge-of-your seat descent with the top 2.
Koretzky out of his seat.
It's Pidcock with the win!!!
A heroic comeback after that puncture. Wow...
And the booing French crowd can do one. Tough fromage.

If it's any consolation, we're still only halfway through Day 3.
But you're right. If you're anything like me, the summers have always been made for watching sporting events on TV whatever age you are.
Laura Collett goes clear... at least a Bronze... with 2 to go.

I'm surprised on not already on a formal written warning after the group stage of the Euros!!If it's any consolation, we're still only halfway through Day 3.

strong and stable with me, or...
Loved the fact the commentary team earlier in the race had said that if there is a gate 2 riders are going for and only 1 can go through first, you'd always bet on that being Tom Pidcock.
I think the French rider had just thought he had Pidcock behind him through that whole section and took his eye off the ball - his own acceleration would have stopped that happening. I think that's why he looked disappointed with himself rather than complaining at the end.
Brilliant by Pidcock though, he risked it all for gold in that moment and fortune favoured the brave!

Tom Pidcock, take a bow. That was pure guts and determination, he would not be denied and that move was extraordinary
Bronze for Laura Collett and London 52.
