Sitting in third overall just a few seconds out of second place and barely a minute off the lead, Daniel Felipe Matinez (Ineos-Grenadiers) was sitting pretty in the elite group off the front of the very diminished peloton. Unfortunately at the bottom of the penultimate climb of Paris Nice he had a flat tire. With no team cars around, he got a rear wheel change from the Shimano neutral service vehicle that was just behind the quintet leading the stage and the race. It was a quick change, but it left him unable to vie for stage honors or any hopes for moving up the general classification. He rode hard enough that the poorly timed puncture didn't knock him off the podium of Paris Nice as he ended the race third overall.
