Puncture cost Tarling a medal in the road race, hopefully history doesn’t repeat here!

36 seconds lost. He might get silver, but the gold has gone, surely, unless something
happens the French rider.

Unlikely to be Pidcock adding to the.gold.medal tally then.

He's working his way back. In 6th now.

Huge ask though, so you're probably right for gold.

 

[hart's shirt]

Up to 3rd now!

Pidcock is on a mission. He could still do it.

I guess having Tour de France fitness and then dropping out has given him quite an advantage.

 

[A1X]

Thank goodness horses don't get punctures

(No, Charlotte Dujardin, that's not a challenge)

 

[hart's shirt]

Into 2nd!

2 laps left to make up 17 seconds.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Up to 3rd now!

Now second with only 17 seconds difference.

 

[Frutos]

Pidcock flying after Koretzky - can he get there?

Superb recovery either way.

 

[hart's shirt]

5 seconds now!

 

[essbee1]

Amazing. If he wins he should be given a knighthood (even though he's from Leeds).

 

[Frutos]

Right there now, come on Tom!

 

[hart's shirt]

Here he goes!

 

[Frutos]

Pidcock leads!

 

[FCB]

What a jump by Koretzky.

And now Pidcock leads again, crazy race.

 

[Frutos]

Koretzky back in front.

 

[hart's shirt]

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.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Took him out, well played mate

 

[Frutos]

Back in front!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Boom. What. An. Effort.

Amazing

 

[Frutos]

Gold!

Superb riding!
