Despite moving into the GC lead at Paris-Nice, Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) believed racing should "never have continued" after brutal weather caused stage 4 to be neutralised inside the final 50 kilometres.
The stage was brought to a halt by race officials as snow and heavy rain continued to fall before the breakaway and peloton were guided slowly under neutralised conditions until 28.8km to go, where the racing resumed.
