Luke Lamperti wins the first stage of Paris-Nice from Achères to Carrières-sous-Poissy (170.9km)

The day's breakaway, made up of Pedersen, Durbridge, Gamper, Walker, Le Berre and Brignard, approached the final climb up Côte de Chanteloup-les-Vignes with a minute on the main group.

On the climb, Costiou tried from behind, but was unable to make a difference, but the peloton was getting very close to the leaders.

Visma took charge of the final chase in the final 7km of flat terrain, with the breakaway being caught with 2km to go.

On the final corner, Lenny Martinez's crash split the main group. In the sprint, Van den Berg launched Lamperti , who won ahead of Braet and Aular .
