Today's stage was rather hilly and marks the penultimate stage of Paris Nice now. While the Maillot Jaune has over a minute on his nearest competitor the other GC positions are all very close together. This is the back of the early break. Stefan Kung (Groupama-FDJ) took the chance to chat with Winner Anacona (Arkea-Samsic) as he rolled to the back of the group after his turn on the front. Just ahead, Anthony Perez (Cofidis) recovered a bit before it was his turn to do his part on the front of the group.
