In the middle of Stage 14 of the 2026 Tour de France, Tom Pidcock was once again virtually riding onto the podium. The British rider had enjoyed a breakaway bonanza on Friday, earning seven minutes over the general classification contenders, and less than 24 hours later, was back in the breakaway de...

Briton Tom Pidcock has admitted his move to infiltrate a breakaway on stage 14 of the Tour de France was probably a mistake after he lost five places on GC.Pidcock was among a group of riders that formed a chase group trying to bridge across to the days early break in the Vosges mountains.The group gained two minutes on the main peloton at one point lifting Pidcock into the virtual Tour de France podium places.The Pinarello Q36.5 leader looked like he might replicate the success hed had the day before when he gained over seven minutes from being in the days breakaway to leapfrog himself into fourth place overall.However, hopes of a repeat of that success were dashed as the stage came into the deciding climbs. First Pidcocks group was caught and then on the final climb of day, the Col du Haag, the Yorkshireman was dropped by the GC group. He lost nearly three minutes to podium rivals Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).I jumped across to the break probably a mistake, with that last climb, Pidcock said. But you know, whatever.He added that his presence as a high-placed rider on GC didnt help the breakaway groups chances. In the end that made it more difficult, because it was not really smooth no one wanted to do anything, he said."But in the end Visma rode, I guess to make it harder for UAE, but they were going to ride their pace no matter what so it didnt really change anything.But at least it meant I got a little bit of a head start in the final, but on the last climb I didnt have much legs left.Pidcock now sits ninth in the general classification, 7.59 off yellow jersey-wearer Tadej Pogaar (UAE Emirates-XRG). He is just under three minutes away from the Tour podium.The Brit will be braced for more GC losses as he already predicted following his exploits on stage 13 that hed lose a lot of time in the time trial on Tuesday. Before then he will face another mountain test on Sunday as the race climbs to a a finish atop the Hors Cat Plateau de Solaison Brison on stage 15.

Florian Lipowitz may have moved up one position in the Tour de France general classification standings, climbing to 6th place, but the German rider is by no means happy with his performance on Saturday's stage 14.The Red Bull - BORA Hansgrohe rider lies 5:44 behind Tadej Pogacar after another stage...

Right now, English cyclist Joe Dick is approaching the final few metres of an unusual odyssey: the 23-year-old sports fanatic has just ridden his Cube road bike from the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City to the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, a suburb of New York City a 5000km escapade he was determined to complete between the first kick of the opening game of 2026 FIFA World Cup and the final whistle of the tournament. The trainee sport and exercise psychologist from Warwickshire pedalled away from the Aztec Stadium in the heart of the Mexican capital when the whistle blew for the first game of the 2026 World Cup, on 11 June, kicking off both the contest between Mexico and South Africa and Dicks extraordinary journey. According to the challenge hed set himself, he had just 39 days to complete his mission and reach the MetLife Stadium in time for the final a game that he had hoped would feature England. (Image credit: Joe Dick)Dick has been planning this cycling challenge for some time, and its underpinned by a very serious cause, which is close to his heart. I've had this idea for about two years now, he told Cycling Weekly on the phone, while riding along an interstate heading into New York, as trucks thundered past in the background. I love my sports and exercise, and I love travel. I wanted to put what I've been learning with sport psychology into practise while doing this endurance challenge, and it's a great opportunity to raise some money for a mental health charity, which is something I'm passionate about."En route Joe has raised thousands of pounds for Campaign Against Living Miserably, a suicide prevention charity that supported him during a difficult time in his own life.(Image credit: Joe Dick)He chose to call his campaign Beat The Final Whistle as a tribute to the thousands of people whose final whistle comes far too early. This cause is deeply personal to me, as lve faced my own struggles with mental health and know how vital awareness and support can be, he said on the Instagram post that announced the challenge.48 teams will compete in the tournament, representing a whopping quarter of the globe. It seems apt then, and poignant, to highlight that 1 in 4 of us will have experienced suicidal thoughts. Its a statistic that is shocking as it is solvable. And change can occur with more attention, resources, and open conversation.(Image credit: Joe Dick)In his Instagram diary, documenting his adventure, Dick bubbles with positivity, but he has ADHD and he is very open and honest about the challenges that entails. The journey has also been bumpy at times. "In my first week, in Mexico, I encountered a lot of punctures In that first week when I knew there were so many miles ahead of me, that was really hard to get through," he told the BBC. "But that's when I sort of had to practise what I preach in terms of my sports psychology."(Image credit: Joe Dick)And he has prevailed. Dicks will arrive at the MetLife Stadium well before the final whistle, in time to actually enjoy watching the final even though its not going to feature his team. Im gutted about the result! he told me the day after England were knocked out of the cup by Argentina. But on the upside, he the riding was going well, and he was ahead of schedule. Im on track for the final baring any disasters I should get there the day before. My dad is flying out to meet me. We don't have a ticket for the final obviously they are crazy expensive so we'll watch it in a bar somewhere. I'll definitely be rooting for Spain!
