Stage 4 of Paris-Nice descends into chaos as rain, crosswinds, and crashes devastate the peloton. Race leader Juan Ayuso suffers a high-speed crash on the Côte de la Croix des Cerisiers, forcing him to abandon the race. His exit marks a significant blow to his ambitions.
Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) seizes control of the General Classification amidst the turmoil, breaking away in a leading group of five and taking the stage win. He now boasts a 52-second lead over Dani Martínez (Red Bull), with the rest of the field trailing more than three minutes behind.
The day starts with splits in the peloton due to strong winds, impacting key riders like Kévin Vauquelin. Several others, including Iván Romeo (Movistar) and Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), also fall victim to the mayhem. The list of abandonments is expected to rise.
