Despite the miserable conditions, Michael Storer (Tudor Pro Cycling) was thrilled to raise his arms in the wet snow as he celebrated his victory. It is the first win for his team in Paris Nice - it is a new team. Hopefully, his win and the presence of Julian Alaphilippe on the team will go a long way to Tudor Pro Cycling a wild card invitation to this year's Tour de France. Both this race, and the Tour are organized by ASO, so this will surely be a positive influence on that decision. At least no one has to race back down this mountain today.
