Brandon McNulty is only four seconds ahead of Matteo Jorgenson. Mattias Skjelmose and Remco Evenepoel have not yet said their last word.
Primoz Roglic and Egan Bernal start from a little further. The first Frenchman in the general classification is Aurélien Paret-Peintre, 9th. Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe) is only eight seconds behind the winner. The last stage in the Nice hinterland will offer the favorites a place to argue for the final victory.
