Paris‑Nice Stage 6 drama
Extended highlights show Paris–Nice Stage 6 turned into a tactical crossroads — late-race attacks, decisive counter-moves, and teams jockeying for yellow in the final kilometers [ ]. Commentators called it a classic Paris–Nice day: aggressive racing that reshuffles the GC and exposes which teams can control chaos under pressure [].
Harold Tejada [paris-nice.fr] launched a counter‑attack over the Côte de Saignon inside the final 5 kilometres to ride solo to victory on the 179.3 km Barbentane→Apt stage [youtube.com]. The win was Tejada’s first at WorldTour level and the biggest result of his career to date [cyclingnews.com], delivered for XDS Astana — a squad that had already taken Stage 2 with Max Kanter earlier in the race [idlprocycling.com]. Tejada also suffered a mechanical on the penultimate climb, changed bikes and still held off the chasers on the descent and run‑in [paris-nice.fr]. Dorian Godon sprinted to second with Lewis Askey third from the reduced group [capovelo.com], and official results show Tejada finished six seconds clear of the main bunch at the line [procyclingstats.com]. Jonas Vingegaard crossed with the peloton to retain the yellow jersey and his GC advantage sat at 3'22" over Daniel Felipe Martínez after Stage 6 [procyclingstats.com], with race centre feeds noting Ineos Grenadiers, Visma‑Lease a Bike and Red Bull‑Bora‑Hansgrohe sharing chase duties in the finale [paris-nice.fr].
