Paris-Nice: Dorian Godon holds off Biniam Girmay to win heavily shortened stage 7

INEOS Grenadiers' French rider Dorian Godon celebrates as he crosses the finish line to win the 7th stage of the Paris-Nice cycling race, 47 km between Le Broc and Isola-Village, on March 14, 2026.

A day after finishing second behind a late breakaway, Dorian Godon took his first victory for Ineos Grenadiers on a bizarre, shortened 47km stage into Isola, with snow-lined roads welcoming the riders after just over an hour of racing at Paris-Nice stage 7.

Racing kicked off 73km further down the road from where it was planned, with horrific weather forcing the organisers to make a second change to the route due to safety concerns, after already removing the planned summit finish on Friday night due to snow.
