Richard Carapaz returns to success at the Mercan'Tour Classic Alpes-Maritimes 2023 . The EF Education – EasyPost runner wins the race with a sprint of his own with 7 kilometers to go which allows him to reach the finish line alone. Second position for Felix Gall (Ag2r Citroën), who limits the damage to a few seconds, while the young Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto Dstny) closes the podium who in a three-man sprint overtakes another interesting talent, Lenny Martinez (Groupama – FDJ) , and Cristian Rodriguez (Team Arkéa-Samsic).
