Pidcock, who is participating in the race with Q36.5 Pro Cycling, has been displaying a relaxed demeanor despite being at a higher overall position than ever in a Grand Tour. His measured effort on the Alto de L'Angliru during stage 13, despite losing more than a minute to stage winner João Almeida, race leader Jonas Vingegaard, and 48 seconds to Jai Hindley, indicates a continued charge for the podium or at least the top five in Madrid.

His comments about the Angliru also suggest that he is learning valuable information about his competitors.
Pidcock's performance in the Vuelta a España has been impressive. He has broken numerous power records during this race and is recovering well despite the late stages of the race taking a toll on him. His team, Q36.5 Pro Cycling, has been supportive throughout.
Looking ahead, the next Grand Tour race Pidcock is expected to participate in is the Vuelta a España 2025. This race includes challenging stages such as the Bola del Mundo climb with a length of 12.4 km and an average gradient of 8.6%, as well as an individual time trial of 27.2 km. Stage 18 of the Vuelta a Espana in 2025 will also include a 27.2km time trial.
