Paris Nice, Final Stage: Who Is Going Now?

With four kilometers left of the 2020 Paris Nice (and perhaps the entire cycling season), Richie Porte (Trek-Segafredo) looked over to see who was going on the attack.  He quickly decided he didn't need to chase Nairo Quintana (Arkea Samsic) who was behind the Maillot Jaune (and his teammate, Vincenzo Nibali) by two minutes.  Given the strength of the Colombian climber, it was little chance any one would see him until the end of the race.  Spoiler alert:  It was Quintana who won the final stage of Paris Nice.  It makes one wonder what would have happen had he not crashed, losing time in stage 2.

Paris Nice, Final Stage: On the Offensive

With virtually no chance of taking over the Maillot Juane, Romain Bardet (Ag2r La Mondiale) jumped clear of the reduced peloton of the Yellow and Green Jerseys in a bid to win the stage.  Those behind didn't feel the need to go after this move.  Instead they would just keep grinding and hope the Frenchman would fad before the top of the climb (and the end of Paris Nice).

Paris Nice, Final Stage: What He Does

Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal) took the opportunity of the final climb of Paris Nice, the Valdeblore la Colmaine to do one of the things he does best.  While De Gendt is great at chasing down break aways, or he can be seen hanging around the back of the peloton, what he is most known for is going off on long solo break aways.  Having dropped the rest of his former break away companions, he now had over a minute on the chasing reduced peloton with just fourteen kilometers of climbing left to race.  Could he be about to take another stage victory?

Paris Nice, Final Stage: Taking on the Race

It was this group of five were taking the race on.  With today having been set as the final stage, it was a now or never situation.  In the middle is Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step) who at this point is the Maillot Jaune Virtuale.  With another 36 K to race, the final 20 being a climb up to Valdeblore la Colmaine, it remains to be seen if the peloton was going to let them all stay away.  Joining the rather popular Frenchman were, Aurelien Paret Peintre (Ag2r La Mondiale), Alberto Bettiol (EF Pro Cycling), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal) and leading the group the Maillot a Pois of Nicolas Edet (Cofidis).  Edet clearly got back into the group after his mechanical.
