Tom Pidcock expressed anger and frustration during an interview with Eurosport following his second-place finish at the Tre Valli Varesine in Italy. Two of his team-mates, Marcel Camprubi and Thomas Gloag, were hit by a police vehicle traveling the wrong way on the course; Gloag needed stitches while Camprubi continued racing but posted about the broken bike on Instagram. The incident echoes concerns raised after a fatal collision involving British cyclist Finlay Tarling in August.
