Max Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) claimed a repeat overall victory in Paris-Nice after Primoz Roglic's (Jumbo-Visma) solid 35-second lead in the standings evaporated on the frantic final stage.
Organisers were forced to rework the route for the final day of racing, changing the Nice circuit to a shorter, technical circuit finishing in Levens, making for a furious 92.7km day of racing.
Roglic crashed twice on the stage and although he finished, he tumbled out of the top 10 leaving Schachmann atop the standings ahead of Astana-Premier Tech's Aleksandr Vlasov and Ion Izagirre.
Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
