Defending champion Tom Pidcock produced one of the great rides to snatch his second gold medal in the men`s mountain bike cross country at the Paris Olympics on Monday. The British rider overcame a front wheel puncture that saw him drop 36 seconds through the race to overtake France`s Victor Koretzky as they battled head-to-head in the final stretch of the race.
Pidcock finished the eight circuits of the 4.4-kilometre course in one hour, 26 minutes and 22 seconds, nine seconds ahead of Koretzky and with South Africa`s Alan Hatherly claiming the bronze medal two more seconds back.
