I imagine he's racing the lightest, raciest, thinnest tyres going and perhaps at quite a high pressure. Wee sharp rock perhaps.
Apparently it was a slow puncture so yeah I guess you'd expect that to seal eventually but it does often take a while at higher pressures. I tend to stop when I notice a puncture and put the hole at the bottom n wait a few mins to let it do its thing, obviously cant do that in a race.

Curious as a bit of a noob to modern bike tech. How would Pidcock get a flat tyre yesterday? Presumably can’t pinch flat? Unlikely to be glass or thorns on that course? So must be a cut in the tyre that didn’t seal from a rock or the wire on the boardwalks?
