Tiesj Benoot (Sunweb) did all he could do to gain time on the Maillot Juane of Maximilian Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe). Alas, he just ran out of road. The German National Champion chased hard enough to keep Benoot close. At the end of the day, Benoot closed the gap to just 18 seconds, including a six second time bonus for taking second on the stage. The second place did give him the lead in the competition for the Maillot Vert, the most consistent sprinter. Perhaps one more stage might have afforded him the opportunity, but this Corona Virus Pandemic cut Paris Nice's final stage off the race. Meaning this is it for the race, and for racing for the foreseeable future
