Paris-Nice had been one of the few races to elude Jonas Vingegaard throughout his career, and when he finally claimed it, he did so in emphatic fashion. The Visma-Lease a Bike rider made it perfectly clear he was back to form even though he skipped starting his season at the UAE Tour after a training crash and illness.
The one-week stage race has not always been kind to the Vingegaard. In 2023, on debut, he finished third behind Tadej Pogačar and David Gaudu but last year when he was in prime position he crashed heavily, suffering a serious concussion.
