the french cyclist Mathieu Burgaudeaufrom the TotalEnergies team, won this Friday in the sixth stage of Paris-Nice, disputed between Courthézon and Aubagne over 213.6 kilometers, with a surprise attack near the finish line that dislodged the peloton and stole a massive arrival from the sprinters, while primoz roglic (Jumbo-Visma) continues to lead.
Burgaudeau23 years old and in his fourth year as a professional, opens his record with a hard-fought first victory, as a pulse against the peloton and with a margin of just one bike over a large group that could not swallow him.
The Frenchman gritted his teeth to be able to celebrate, exhausted as soon as he crossed the finish line, his first professional victory and the fourth for TotalEnergies at the start of the season. It was a tight ending, with the same time as the one given to mads petersen (Trek-Segafredo) and Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), second and third at the finish line.
It was a stage of attacks, escapes and escapes, all of them annulled by the peloton. But with about 10 kilometers to go, the young man jumped upstream Burgaudeau to take a distance that, when the group wanted to close it, no longer disappeared completely.
This Saturday, at seventh and penultimate stagethe mountain arrives with a high finish at the Col de Turini (La Bollène-Vésubie), a long pass of 15.2 kilometers at an average gradient of 7.2 percent where the leader primoz roglic will defend the 39-second margin in the general classification over Simon Yachts (BikeExchange-Jayco) or the 41 on Pierre Latour (Total Energies).
