Primoz Roglic is subscribed to the reversals to his disadvantage, after the sensational one suffered last year at the Tour de France, which saw the success of compatriot Tadej Pogacar.
Today the Slovenian was the unfortunate protagonist of a double crash, the second 20 kilometers from the conclusion of the last stage, and was forced to give up the success in cycling Paris-Nice, which he had dominated so far with three stage victories and an indisputable leadership in the general classification.
The stage, rewritten by the prohibitions for Covid, imposed by the Prefect of the Alpes Maritimes, on the 93 kilometers that separated Le Plan du Var from Levens - with a circuit to be repeated three times - recorded the success of the Danish Magnus Cort Nielsen. For the second consecutive year the German Maximilian Schachmann triumphed in the general classification, preceding the Russian Aleksander Vlasov and the Spanish Ion Izagirre, both of Astana.
