Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) was victorious on stage 2 of the Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista Del Sol, as he stormed to a fourth victory of the season for his new team.
After an aggressive day of racing which saw the GC battle kick off with around 80km remaining on the stage, the final was contested between a group of five riders, coming down to a sprint which Pidcock led out, holding the rest at bay with a strong turn of pace at the finish.
Brandon Rivera, of Pidcock’s former team, INEOS Grenadiers, came through in second place, while Pavel Sivakov (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) rounded out the podium, finishing in third place for the second consecutive day.
