March 14/21 15:48 pm - Paris-Nice: Stage 8
Posted by Editoress on 03/14/21
Germany’s Maximilian Schachmann (BORA-hansgrohe) retained the Paris-Nice title after one of the most sensational finales of the “Race to the Sun”, which saw race leader Primoz Roglic crash, falter and finally lose a crown which seemed within almost certain reach. The Slovenian hit the tarmac after 22 km, was halted again with 25 km to go and never managed to return to the bunch speeding to get rid of him once and for all. Roglic, winner of three stages, crossed the line 3:08 behind Schachmann and finished 15th overall with the slim consolation of a green jersey.
In the final GC, the German leads white jersey winner Aleksandr Vlasov (Astana-Premier Tech) by 19 seconds and his Astana team-mate Ion Izagirre by 23 seconds. On the finish line in Levens, Dane Magnus Cort Nielsen (EF Education-NIPPO) outwitted Frenchman Christian Laporte (Cofidis) for his second stage win.
