He kept his word for a superman celebration 2022 haha!

A joy then, a joy still. One of my favourite riders.

Nothing has made me feel older this year than hearing "I don't know what that means" to the Metallica vs. Iron Maiden question.

[@NielsDeBoeck]

Insane athlete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@angelsaulovelazquez3232]

Good 5 years at least coming up with all the competitors he spoke about, exciting to see these guys doing multiple disciplines

[@livibam]

We all had our phase of not having hangovers.. wait till he’s 25

[@andy_xtr3861]

Can't imagine he'll be drinking alcohol being a pro athlete....

[@Jvnnick]

@@andy_xtr3861 Oh they do. Just not that often and I can’t imagine it’s very excessive when they do it.

[@glennoc8585]

@@Jvnnick some do some don't but not much in training and racing. I've had a few drinks in a club with pro cyclists in the off season and they liked a few put it that way.

[@maxafc4695]

He doesn't drink and never really has

[@foldupaudi7645]

Thank you

[@urbanjungle9600]

You can tell from his answers that Tom has been hyper focussed on being the best version of himself and getting every ounce of ability out through his pedals for a very long time! Clearly he has shut himself off from anything that would distract from that.

The indoor cycling question might have been about competing on zwift, but Tom is correct as ‘Indoor cycling’ covers Artistic cycling the Rad ball world championships.

Great Lad, bright future

Go hard with drives you. University can be picked up later... someone once said university is wasted on youth

[@MattGrovesFTW]

Never heard of Iron Maiden or Metallica!? Come on man!

[@The1trueDave]

5:26 !?!?!? Could somebody please take charge of this young man's musical education as a matter of urgency?

[@martywild8200]

Your comment made me chuckle. In my world, whether or not someone has passion for music is ascertained in seconds after asking them ‘what music do you like?’ In this case, took less time than that….. that said, guys a total legend and obviously, as made clear with his drinking comments, he is cycling, that’s him through and through. Here’s to 2023 and to Tom hopefully bagging a GT one day for us to revel in with him.

Pidcock should find a way to go study. The world is so interesting and challenging your mind can be as rewarding as challenging one's body. What one knows of the world directly impacts how one perceives it.

[@briangoossens1519]

The more I get to know of the world we live in, the less I really want to know.

[@fritsgerms3565]

@@briangoossens1519 what I hope you mean to say is: the more you see of human behavior. Because the objective reality around us is nothing but magical. Learning and understanding (to some degree) how things work and how things fit together is very fulfilling. Humans are but one primate species of many. Even if our behavior often disappoint, its always interesting to learn why we behave as we do. Side note: there’s a book called “behave” written by R.Sapolsky just about that ~ lots of KZbin videos too. I’ve become much more forgiving to myself and others the more i understood of our evolutionary past. Pidcock makes a pensive impression when he talks about certain things. I think he will find real joy by searching for answers.and I hope you’ll learn to see the world in a way that enhances your experience.

No ways hr is on a much better pathway. Studying has now become a study of all the lies agreed upon.

[@fritsgerms3565]

@@glywnniswells9480 that's ignorance. better yourself.

[@glywnniswells9480]

@@fritsgerms3565 at present time the world of Acedemia needs major reform they teach medicine as per their sponsors Pfizer etc. History doesnt really tell of the jewish massacre of 60 million Christian Russians by the Bolscheviks. Science refuses to acknowledge a created Universr rather than trillions of coincedences resulting in complex life. They refuse to acknowledge differences in gender unless its specifically to demean men Its a cess pool of lies agreed upon.

He never heard of Metallica?!

This guy wont be a big drinkee

[@legrandmaitre7112]

Oasis... oh dear, that's let down. Oasis... music for people who don't really like music.

[@deathkampdrone]

[@pollyannakarina]

Excellent comment! You crystallised what l have thought for years about Oasis.
