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.
Here’s a dumb question - are the pros braking at all in corners? I always never do. Just do all my braking before taking the corner (very slowly), which will contribute to me taking longer to go down a col than they take going up.
