The race for the sun therefore ended in the greyness. As usual ! But with a sparkling yellow jersey on the Promenade des Anglais podium. Unhappy last year, the Slovenian Primoz Roglic did not crack this time to win this 80th edition of an epic Paris – Nice. Between the flu epidemic which has decimated the peloton in recent days and these two stages on the Riviera swept by the wind and the rain, there was enough to lose control. But the leader of the Jumbo Visma, winner on Saturday at the top of the Col du Turini, was able to finish the job this Sunday on this loop around Nice, won in one breath by the Briton Simon Yates.
Valentin Madouas best climber
The rider from the BikeExchange-Jayco team crossed the finish line first, ahead of Roglic and Wout Van Aert, leader of this last stage and who won the green jersey. Not always at the party this week, the French still have a representative on the podium with the Groupama-FDJ rider Valentin Madouas, crowned best climber.
