2024 Paris-Nice Stage 6 Results & Recap
Stage 6 of the 2024 Paris-Nice is in the books. The final results and standings are below, followed by our recap of how the race unfolded.
Race Recap
Danish champion Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) won stage 6 of Paris Nice, from Sisteron and La Colle-sur-Loup, out of a three-man breakaway. Americans Brandon McNulty and Matteo Jorgenson finished second and third, with the UAE Team Emirates rider reclaiming the yellow jersey ahead of Jorgenson.
“It’s a bit of a surpriseI was feeling pretty good all day but this kind of day is special," Skjelmose said. "The team worked perfectly for me and when Mads (Pedersen) was pulled back from the breakaway, the team did a great work. When the team works like this it minimises all the luck. In the final climb, I thought that Remco or Primoz or one of the guys in the GC would go. But they let me go and then Brandon joined me and we came close to Matteo. I love to race in France and especially in this area. It’s the first win of the year for me so it’s special. In the final sprint, I played with the fact that I was so down in the GC and they had such a big gap, it’s not the best way to win as these guys were stronger than me today I think.”
“I was not expecting this," McNulty said. "I was thinking we would have a few sprint days before the mountains. But the finishing circuit was quite hard and we expected to do something in the end. But I definitely not expected this. We knew that there would be attacks but I didn’t expect to take the yellow jersey there. I’m in a good position but we have two hard days coming with bad weather and we’ll try as hard as we can.”\n
