Pidcock remains seventh overall with three stages remaining of the race, with Carlos Rodriguez, Magnus Sheffield and Ben Turner also on the same time.
At the Vuelta a Espana, Kim Heiduk brought home the Grenadiers in 17th place, after stage 12 came down to a bunch sprint won by Sebastian Molano (UAE Team Emirates).
