UAE did the best with his foursome Almeida, leader McNulty, Vine and Fisher-Black and thus starts in pole position for the first climbing exam in this Paris-Nice. The rankings could look completely different tonight. But what are the prospects after yesterday’s eventful team time trial?
For Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) the damage ultimately amounted to 22 seconds on the men of UAE, so after his 4 bonuses in the first stage, he was 18 seconds behind in the rankings. Also Egan Bernal in Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) came in at the same time.
Matteo Jorgenson & Wilco Kelderman (Visma-Lease a Bike) already suffered damage for 38 seconds, Pello Bilbao & Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain-Victorious) en Felix Gall (Decathlon-AG2R) 42 seconds.
The big losers of the day were Primoz Roglic (Bora-Hansgrohe) with 54” on UAE – and therefore 32” on Evenepoel -, David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) at 1’01” en Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) at no less than 1’15”.
