Wout van Aert on the royal road? The fifth stage of Paris-Nice, Thursday March 10, between Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert (Loire) and Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut (Ardèche), could confirm this. His team, the Jumbo-Visma, seems, in any case, untouchable. After the initial hat-trick of Mantes-la-Ville, the Dutch team returned the cover on Wednesday, during the time trial, with Van Aert, Primoz Roglic and Rohan Dennis. From there to seeing the Belgian triumph on Sunday, there is only one step.
188.8 kilometers long, the mid-mountain stage should offer some difficulty to the peloton. With five passes, including three first category, the appointment promises. The rivals of the Jumbo-Visma riders, like Adam Yates (Ineos Grenadiers) or Nairo Quintana (Arkéa-Samsic), will have a lot to do to destabilize the Batavian team.
