The nickname of Paris Nice is the 'race to the sun' but I don't think that moniker fits this the 80th edition of the race. Today's race was wet and cold just like the Queen stage yesterday. Sickness has also plaqued the peloton this year, although not a positive Covid test in the bunch. It seems we still have the old fashion flu to deal with too. That is why Gabio Felline (Astana Qazaqstan) was the last member of his team to still be in the race, and that isn't the only team left with just one man still competing. Felline was enjoying the benefit of Mathieu Burgaudeau (TotalEnergies) working hard to bring his team leader, Pierre Latour, back to front of the race after a poorly time flat tire.
