After the first climbing test for the race-winning hopefuls on stage 4 at Paris-Nice 2024, there has been a big upheaval in the top-10.
Although he may have missed out on the stage win, Team Jayco AlUla's Australian National Champion, Luke Plapp has been rewarded for his attacking gamble with the Maillot Jaune and the overall race lead, 17 seconds clear of the man who did take the stage, Santiago Buitrago.
Former Maillot Jaune, Brandon McNulty remains on the podium in third, with Joao Almeida, Remco Evenepoel and Egan Bernal hot on his heels.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
