Hugo Page was on the verge of his first big result of 2025 with a nice third place in the sprint of the second stage of
Paris-Nice... That was until the jury looked at Frenchman's behaviour in final meters with a magnifying glass and found his actions to be against the rules of a clean sprint. The verdict was clear:
Page was relegated to 136th place.
"The last 50 kilometers were very nervous. Yesterday I didn't follow my train while the guys did a great job," the Frenchman returns to yestreday's 17th place in Le Perray-en-Yvelines in a post-race interview for
Cycling Pro Net.
