• Final stage win in Nice for Slovenian, Almeida podiums as UAE shine in Italy •
 
13th March 2023:  Tadej Pogacar claimed the final stage of Paris-Nice in splendid fashion taking an emphatic solo stage win and finishing in first place in the overall General Classification.
 
Today’s stage saw the riders cover 118.4km, starting and finishing in Nice, with five classified climbs on the menu.
 
It was on the slopes of the Col d’Eze, 19km from the finish, where the Slovenian rider broke away from an elite group of rivals, crossing the finish line alone to celebrate his third stage victory in this his first participation of the ‘race to the sun’. 
 
Pogacar: “It was always my dream to win Paris-Nice. The fact I did it is incredible. They say sometimes that attack is the best defence. I really know these roads well as I live quite close by and I train on them regularly.  I knew exactly how my legs were on the final climb and how much I could spend to get to the top and I managed to judge it well.”
 
The Slovenian claims the Final GC in his first presence at the Paris-Nice and his 9th victory of the season so far.
