Paris-Nice favourite Remco Evenepoel has admitted making a "tactical mistake" in not responding to the stage 6-winning move initiated by Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease A Bike) on the Côte de la Colle-sur-Loup.
However, the Belgian champion also lamented the lack of cohesion in the 29km chase behind Jorgenson and the two men who bridged across – new leader Brandon McNulty and stage winner Mattias Skjelmose – in what turned out to be a race-upending move.
