The final stage of the 2026 Paris-Nice kicks off in Nice under favorable conditions after a stormy previous day. The race, featuring a challenging 128.6km course with three category one climbs, witnesses immediate attacks from the peloton. Key jersey holders—Godon in green, Vingegaard in yellow, and Pedersen in polka dots—set the stage for an explosive finish.
A four-man lead group forms early, including Fabio Van den Bossche (Soudal Quick-Step), Benjamin Thomas (Cofidis), William Blume Levy (Uno-X Mobility), and Jonas Rutsch (Lotto Intermarché). They’re soon joined by another eight riders but are ultimately caught by the peloton.
As the race unfolds, Kévin Vauquelin suffers a mechanical issue, leaving him behind. New attacks emerge, with five riders, including Thomas and Van den Bossche, attempting to break away again. The tension builds as the riders push for victory.
