Laurence Pithie is experiencing a steep learning curve as the sole New Zealand rider in the Tour de France. He has identified Tadej Pogačar as a reference point for positioning within the peloton. Pithie's primary focus is supporting teammates Primož Roglič and Florian Lipowitz, striving to stay near them. The Tour presents a different challenge compared to his previous experience in the Giro d'Italia, which he describes as more relaxed. He appreciates the iconic climbs of the Pyrenees and notes that Lipowitz's consistent performances have impressed him throughout the season.
If you are anywhere near him, you know you're in the right place to be.
It's all about Primož and Lipo, staying in front or behind them, helping them and supporting them.
It's completely different. The Giro is much more relaxed, and the peloton goes a bit slower there.
He's been good all year... it's a matter of being able to hold your form or get a little bit better, and he's certainly done that.
