Four-time Tour winner Chris Froome came in third on the stage as Thomas, one of Pidcock's teammates, moved up to third in the general classification. Froome joined Pidcock in an attack on the Galibier climb at the start of the 165km stage from Briancon to join what became a nine-man break, Pidcock made the first attack on the famous Alp, around 10km from the summit and had time to celebrate as he crossed the line.
An emotional Pidcock - who reached 100 kilometres an hour on a descent earlier in the stage - said he realised he would win with 800 metres to go."I guess it has made my Tour de France.
