Tadej Pogacar stormed to victory on the fourth stage of Paris-Nice on Wednesday, laying down a marker against his great rival Jonas Vingegaard at the first summit stage finish of the European season.
The win took the Slovenian to the top of the general classification, even though he admitted afterwards that he had not anticipated taking the lead on Wednesday. “It was not in my mind to take yellow today, but you don’t say no to yellow, and it’s nice to be back,” Pogacar said.
