An impressive team performance brought Ineos Grenadiers victory on the stage 3 team time trial at Paris-Nice, beating Lidl-Trek by 2.5 seconds in Pouilly-sur-Loire on Tuesday. It was their first victory in the discipline they once dominated for five years.British TT star Josh Tarling did the lion's share of the work, benefitting their new GC signings for 2026, Kévin Vauquelin and Oscar Onley, with the Frenchman stopping the clock as their first rider across the line.With each rider's individual time counting for their general classification standing, Vauquelin fell just short of taking the race leader's yellow jersey, which went to Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek) thanks to the four bonus seconds he gained at an intermediate sprint on stage 2.
