Paris-Nice: Stage 4

Magnus Cort Nielsen outwitted his breakaway companions to clinch the longest stage of this Paris-Nice in Pelussin at the expense of Belgium’s Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), who earned the consolation of the polka-dot jersey. The Danish rider, winner of a Tour de France stage in Carcassone last year, attacked 400 metres from the line to upstage De Gendt and Italy’s Giulio Ciccone and Alessandro De Marchi, who had broken away with him after 10 km.

Despite a long chase for the 212 km of the stage from Vichy, the peloton could not bridge the gap but Michal Kwiatkowski (Team Sky) took advantage of the bumpy profile of the day to take the yellow jersey away from stage 1 and 2 winner Dylan Groenewegen.

The start was given at 11:31 to 150 riders. After ten kilometres, seven riders broke clear. They were Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), Christoph Pfingsten (Bora-Hansgrohe), Julien Bernard (Trek-Segafredo), Olivier Le Gac (Groupama-FDJ), Mathias Le Turnier (Cofidis), Alessandro De Marchi (CCC) and Kevin Reza (Vital Concept). They were joined three kilometers later by Magnus Cort Nielsen (Astana), Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo), Elie Gesbert (Arkea Samsic) and Damien Gaudin (Direct Energie) and then by Eduard Grosu and Evaldas Siskevicius (both Delko-Marseille-Provence). Polka-dot jersey holder Gaudin collected two more points in the first climb of the day (Km 18.5).

Le Gac the best-placed escapee overall, won the first intermediate sprint. At km 79.5, the peloton was halted for 3:30 by a level-crossing, forcing organizers to stop the breakaway group for the same amount of time. The gap still increased to reach 6:40 at kilometer 114. It then started to go down gradually to reach 3:20 at the top of the 2nd category Cote de Treves (km 152.5) on which Gaudin added seven points to his KOM tally. Kevin Reza was dropped on the hill.

On the 1st category Cote de Condrieu, Thomas De Gendt surged to pick 10 KOM points as the leading group disintegrated. Only seven of the escapees were left at the top: De Gendt, De Marchi, Gesbert, Ciccone, Bernard, Le Turnier and Cort Nielsen. De Gendt, twice a polka-dot jersey winner on Paris-Nice, collected seven more points on Cote de St Michel sure Rhone (Km 183) and found himself only one point behind Gaudin. He overtook the Frenchman in the next climb, Cote de Chavanay (2nd cat, km 201.5) by clinching seven more points to take back the jersey he had won in Nice a year ago.

At the top of that last climb, the peloton, led by Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) for some 30 km, had come back within 50 seconds of the breakaway group, in which were only left De Gendt, De Marchi, Ciccone and Cort Nielsen. The four kept fighting and retained their 50 seconds lead until the red flame, when Cort Nielsen attacked unexpectedly to surprise his breakaway companions. On the line, he handed his Astana team their 16th victory of the season. Overall, Kwiatkowski leads Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana) by five seconds and Philippe Gilbert (Deceuninck-Quick Step) by 10 seconds.

Reactions

Magnus Cort Nielsen: It was not a real plan to do something in this stage, but for sure I knew this day could suit me quite well and from the start of the stage, I was up there in the front, following the attacks. We went away quite early in the stage, I think after 10 or 15 kilometers we were already there with a small gap. At first, a group of riders attacked to create a small advantage and later me with four more guys were able to catch them. So, on the first climb of the day, we went clear. I felt quite good today and, in the breakaway, we managed to work well together.”

“There were a few really strong guys in our group, so I had to be attentive to all of them. In the end, after 200 kilometers in the break, you never know how your legs could answer in the sprint, so I decided to anticipate with an attack inside the final kilometer. It was a good move and I was able to take the win! I am very happy with this victory, it is my first win this year, but as you could see the team started this season pretty well and I am happy to bring one more win to the team. We still have some GC ambitions in this race with Luis Leon Sanchez staying good at the second place. He is motivated, and we will do our best to support him,

Michal Kwiatkowski: “We have been actors of the race since the start and I hold this leader’s jersey today because we have shown why we came here: to win the Paris-Nice GC. In the first couple of days, the whole team had to work hard. It was difficult to stay in the front all the time with the crosswinds and the splits. But all the guys were strong. It takes a lot of motivation do do that. Since I have the yellow jersey, I’m now the leader of the team but Egan can still do great things. There are very hard stages ahead of us this weekend. For tomorrow’s time trial, I will stay focused, it’s a 25 km effort and it takes a lot of energy.”

Thomas De Gendt “I made a bit of a mistake in the end. I must say the 13 guys worked very well together the whole day. But in the finale I made a mistake by trying to let De Marchi in and I left a bit of a gap and Cort Nilesen started his sprint with 700 metres to go. I could not get to the wheel. He was the strongest but I made a mistake. I wore the polka-dot a lot in my career. I have a lot of Paris-Nice jerseys. It’s another one for the collection. I will try to defend it but I hope to get a stage win also. It’s better for me than the jersey.”
