No time for a wheelie today: Tom Pidcock narrowly wins second mountain bike World Cup race

The 22-year-old didn't have time to revel in a flamboyant finish line celebration as he just pipped Vlad Dascalu to the line

Tom Pidcock won his second mountain bike World Cup race in successive weeks in Nové Město, Czech Republic, on Sunday, beating Trek Factory rider Vlad Dascalu during the final sprint. 

The Ineos Grenadiers rider dominated in Albstadt, Germany, last weekend, and even had time to entertain the crowd by wheelieing across the finish line. This time around, though, Pidcock faced more of a challenge from Dascalu, meaning he didn't have an opportunity to produce yet another flamboyant celebration.
