Jorgenson 2nd easily defends the yellow jersey

Magnus Sheffield (Ineos Grenadiers) wins the eighth and final stage of the Paris-Nice with start and finish in Nice (119.9km).

The stage was lively from the early stages with Pedersen unleashed and continuously attacking. On the Côte de Peille the Dane was joined by Gall and Vlasov , then, on the following descent, Sheffield also joined.

On the Col d'Eze Sheffield and Pedersen extend their lead, while in the leading group Jorgenson attacks with authority and leaves all his opponents in the standings behind.

On the Col des Quatre Chemins , the last climb of the day, Sheffield went solo and managed to resist Jorgenson 's comeback.

The Team Visma rider wins the general classification ahead of Lipowitz and Arensman .
