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.<p>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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pidcock's win means he successfully defends the gold he won in Tokyo and comes a day before his 25th birthday, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 36 men, representing 27 nations, tackled eight laps of the man-made course that featured fast compacted gravel, a challenging drop-off, and tough rock garden features. For half the race, Koretzky had promised a French double, following Sunday\u2019s victory for Pauline Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot, but despite the deafening support, it was not to be. Pidcock recovered the time lost due to the puncture to take glory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pidcock's win means he successfully defends the gold he won in Tokyo and comes a day before his 25th birthday, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/wasim-akram-hopes-indian-team-will-travel-to-pakistan-for-2025-champions-trophy-147144\">Akram \u2018hopes\u2019 Indian Team Will Travel To Pakistan For Champions Trophy<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIn the end, it was really fast with Victor, I just couldn\u2019t get rid of him!
