Paris-Nice long-distance race:
Felix Gall on last stage and eighth overall
Professional cyclist Felix Gall (Decathlon) finished eighth in the final stage of the long-distance race Paris-Nice on Sunday and eighth overall. On the final stage over 109.3 km from and to Nice, the East Tyrolean was 2:13 minutes behind the day's winner Remco Evenepoel (Soudal), the Belgian won in a two-man decision ahead of Matteo Jorgensen (Visma). The US-American thus secured the overall victory, 30 seconds ahead of Evenepoel. Gall was 4:35 minutes behind.
Third place went to the Russian Alexander Vlasov (Bora), who finished fifth overall behind the Dane Mattias Skelmose (Trek), and third overall to the American Branden McNulty (UAE). The tour featured a top-class field and was also a good first test of endurance for Gall for this year's upcoming challenges. Austria's athlete of the year 2023 had started the final, not too long mountain stage in third place overall, McNulty had been in the lead before the eighth stage.
The new Bora captain Primoz Roglic lost more than four minutes to the leader on Sunday, the Slovenian finished the Tour just under a minute behind Gall, directly behind the Austrian in ninth place.
Vingegaard sovereign
Unlike Jorgenson's surprising overall success, that of his favored teammate Jonas Vingegaard at Tirreno-Adriatico was anything but unexpected. The Tour winner from Denmark, who is untouchable in the mountains, did not allow his clear overall lead to be taken away on the largely flat final section to San Benedetto del Tronto on Sunday. The victory on the seventh stage went to the Italian Jonathan Milan (Lidl), who had already won the fourth stage, in a bunch sprint.
