Pidcock then seized his chance, powering to victory in an epic race by nine seconds although boos rang out from the partisan French crowd as he crossed the line ahead of Koretzky and South Africa’s Alan Hatherly who took the bronze. “It’s a shame because that’s not really the spirit of the Olympics, but I do also understand, they’re a passionate French crowd,” an exhausted Pidcock said. Road professional Pidcock, who abandoned this year’s Tour de France because of COVID, looked strong early on as he attacked on lap three and only Koretzky could hold his wheel.
