Despite falling about 300 meters from the end, Christophe Laford successfully defended the yellow jersey of the leader in the Paris-Nice long-distance cycling race.
Stage winner: Mates Pederson.
IMAGO / Panoramic International
The Frenchman from the Jumbo-Wisma team fell at mass speed in the 3rd round on Tuesday, but reached the finish line with a slight setback when former Danish world champion Mates Pederson won.
In flat conditions, however, LaBorde is given the winner’s time to fall in the final three kilometers, which allows Belgorod to highlight the race one second ahead of Belgian teammate Vaughn Airt.
The 190.8 km stretch from Vierzon to Dun-le-Palestel was characterized by numerous attacks in the hilly final phase. However, in the end, the sprint teams controlled the field and Peterson won at a faster pace than Frenchman Brian Coquard and Van Ert. Bora-Hanschro, the German team, finished eighth through Netherlands’ Danny von Poppel.
Time trial experts are needed Wednesday. The 13.4-kilometer route runs from Tomarat to Montlucon. The terrain from Thursday will require significant amounts. The match ends with a stage around Nice on Sunday.
