Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) sealed the Paris-Nice title in style, attacking on the Col d’Eze and soloing down into Nice to collect a third stage victory to go with his yellow jersey.
The grand finale of ‘The Race to the Sun’ once again took the riders into the hills behind Nice that have provoked so much last-gasp drama in recent editions, but Pogačar took any tension out of the equation with a dominant display.
The peloton did split over the early climbs, but Pogačar’s UAE Team Emirates men soon took hold of proceedings and the Slovenian himself then took matters into his own hands on the final climb of Col d’Eze.
He made his move 4km from the top of the 6km climb and it immediately looked decisive. By the summit, he’d opened a lead of 45 seconds over his scrambling rivals and he made no mistake on the 15km descent into Nice.
More to come.
