Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) romped to a rain and wind-battered victory on stage four of Paris-Nice, attacking from a small breakaway with a kilometre of the finishing climb to go.
He crossed the line 41 seconds ahead of second-placed Dani Martínez (Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe). The performance put him in the leader's yellow jersey – as opposed to the bib-tights-on-the-outside look he was sporting as he crossed the line. It was a sartorial casualty of the ultra-intense racing, he later explained, insisting he was planning to take them off but could not find an opportunity.
