Agreed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like that outside pass on the corner yesterday. Just pure moto GP full leaning into the corner, especially just after passing the rider. Must just be pure confidence in the tyres. No thinking, just doing.
J0nathan-
The sudden burst of speed from Pidcock on the overtake was really impressive. On first impression it looks like he speeds up by leaning further in, but I guess in reality he probably let off his brakes a bit compared to the Arkea rider and then leaned more to compensate.
There were a few amazing corners on the Croix de Fer descent too

Pidcock is likely one of the best descenders in the world. When you can handle a bike without fear you can just flow like others can't.
