Pidcock at Full Speed: Where Mindset Meets Control

Tom Pidcock’s ‘rest week’ at the Nürburgring mirrors his 100Percent Signature Edition Eyewear: no waste, no hesitation, total control

Tom Pidcock doesn’t slow down, not on the bike, not off it, and definitely not when he’s carving a Porsche 911 GT3 RS through the Nürburgring amid his final preparations for the 2026 Tour de France départ. 

“I love training hard,” admits Pidcock, “but I also know when I need a week off.”

Clocking a lap time within 7 seconds of the track record, in a similarly prepared vehicle by a professional driver, on his week off from training for this year’s Tour wasn’t just a joyride; it was a window into the same precision, control, and mental sharpness Pidcock brings to everything he does. 

“When the time’s against me, everything comes out,” says Pidcock. “I work even harder.”

So when 100Percent set out to build his signature sunglasses, we didn’t just design a product, we matched a mindset.

To celebrate the 2026 launch, we wrapped Pidcock’s GT3 RS in a custom vinyl inspired by his Slendale® signature finish: a red‑accented, high‑contrast look that mirrors the silhouette, attitude, and performance DNA of the eyewear itself. It’s a fusion of speed, engineering, and personality: the athlete, the machine, and the product speaking the same language.

At the core of Pidcock’s unmistakable approach to performance is a mentality built on efficiency, pressure, and the refusal to waste a single watt of energy. 

“I'm a person that hates waste—wasting time, wasting energy,” says Pidcock.

Because Pidcock’s mentality isn’t just inspiring, it’s instructive. His quotes aren’t slogans; they’re operating principles. And the Slendale® Signature Edition Eyewear is built to reflect his mentality: lightweight construction, locked‑in stability, increased depth perception of our proprietary HiPER® lens technology, and a silhouette engineered for athletes who refuse to waste a single ounce of effort.
