PARIS-NICE. Despite some difficulties this Friday March 11, the favorites stayed warm in the peloton while the Frenchman Mathieu Burgaudeau achieved a great number to win the stage.
[Mis à jour le 11 mars 2022 à 16h17] The sixth stage of Paris – Nice was announced as hilly, it was, but the favorites remained calm in the peloton before a decisive weekend. After a long breakaway with in particular the wearer of the polka dot jersey Valentin Madouas, resumed during the last ascent of the day, Soren Kragh Andersen tried to leave alone in the descent of the Col de l’Espigoulier (10.8km at 4.4 %) whose summit was located 28 kilometers from the finish, but was taken back about fifteen kilometers from Aubagne after a lot of work on the Trek for the former world champion Mads Pedersen.
But in a small climb 9 km from the finish, it was the Total Direct Energie rider Mathieu Burgaudeau who set fire to the powder and broke company with the peloton to win the very first victory of his career. With the withdrawals of Jakobsen and Philipsen, there were not many big sprinters left for the final and this disorganization allowed the Frenchman to raise his arms.
As every year, the race takes place over a week from Sunday March 6, 2022 to Sunday March 13, 2022.
