The new format of the team time-trial at
Paris-Nice provided some interesting spectacle, but it was
Jumbo-Visma who confirmed their favourite status to take the stage win.
Magnus Cort Nielsen is the new leader of the race.
The new rules implemented for the team time-trial meant that teams could afford to arrive with only one rider at the finish. Some teams opted to do so whilst others kept more traditional strategies.
Team Jayco AlUla took an early lead that was strong, arriving with Simon Yates and Michael Matthews to the finish, taking over 40 seconds on Bahrain and INEOS.
