It has been a very hard Paris Nice and the final stage was no different. On the penultimate climb up the Cote de Peille this very select group got off the front containing first, second, third and fifth on the general classification. The odd man out was Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) in the Maillot Vert. He was there to aid his team leader in the Maillot Jaune, Primoz Roglic. The quintet was rounded out by Daniel Felipe Martinez (Ineos-Grenadiers), Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic), and Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco). It seems that they were all able to stay with each other on this climb, but there is still the Col d'Eze.
