Rémi Cavagna: “The aim was to get a head start”
“It was a hell of a day. We had planned for me to break away, but it wasn't necessarily to play for the win. The aim was more to get a head start so that I would be in the right place in case of echelons and be able to help Guillaume. In the end, he wasn't in the first group, so I was asked to get up so that I could ride with him. I would have liked to have ridden a few...
Thomas Gachignard: “My legs gave up”
“I’m very happy to have this polka-dot jersey, but it wasn't easy to get it. I've been going flat out for three days and today, with the conditions we're experiencing, when I got over the first hill, my legs gave up, there was no way I could continue. I know it's going to be very hard to keep the jersey tomorrow, but I'm already very happy to be able to wear it once.”
...Florian Lipowitz: "I hope to stay on the podium"
“The team did a really good job to be always in the front. I was happy that we made it in this small group. It was a really really hard day, really cold. The week-end will be super hard, with a lot of big challenges. I think a lot will happen and I hope to stay on the podium.”
Matteo Jorgenson: “I knew I had the strongest team”
“I’m impressed with the guys today, our commitment, just following the plan we made this morning, as riders. We looked at the course and made the plan. I knew we had the strongest team for this kind of conditions and it’s nice to take full advantage and make what was a very grim day, as far as weather conditions, a nice experience, at least results wise. The...
Mads Pedersen: "A perfect day"
“After such a tough day it’s of course nice to win. It would have been a pity to be 2nd or 3rd. It’s really nice to take a victory with the team and Mattias Skjelmose moves up in GC. For us, it was a perfect day. No one likes to race with 5-6 degrees and rain. It was a tough day. I don’t care when it’s weather like this but I don’t really...
Pedersen dominates the echelons
Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) powered to victory in Berre-l’Étang, after an eventful stage 6 of Paris-Nice 2025 marked by echelons. The Danish star was the fastest in the 17-man group that emerged after Visma-Lease a Bike turned the race upside down in the last 65 kilometres. Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) made the first...
Modification of the route of stage 7
The arrival set in Auron remains unchanged, but safety conditions are not met to cross the Col de la Colmiane and use the following downhill. Thus, the riders will skip the Côte de Belvédère and the Col de La Colmiane and go straight after 55.8 km to continue through the Var Valley and then the Tinée Valley. They will rejoin the originally planned...
The magic number
Winning three stages of Paris-Nice is no meagre feat. One doesn’t need to go back very far in time to see a rider raise his arms aloft so often in a single edition of the Race to the Sun, but one will necessarily stumble on a special champion when looking for such dominance - Tadej Pogacar led the show on days 4, 7 and 8 of Paris-Nice 2023. Joao Almeida or Lenny Martinez,...
Joao Almeida: "I didn’t have the best legs"
“It was a good day. It ward all day, with a big fight for the break. I didn’t have the best legs on the steep finish but I think it was alright and I keep the polka-dot jersey so it’s a positive. I feel overall okay. Tomorrow should be easier with a flat stage and I should be ready for Saturday.”
Florian Lipowitz: “A podium is a really big goal”
“I know those climbs don’t suit me well so I was surprised to be in the top 5 at the finish. I’m super happy with the team and the positioning, everything went super well. Tomorrow, luckily, we have an easier day, and then the week-end looks pretty hard. We’ll have to see how it goes but the legs are good. A podium is for sure a really big goal but we...
