Mats Pedersen takes Stage 3 victory at Paris-Nice as leader Christophe Laporte crashes on home straight
A classics-style Stage 3 ended in a slimline bunch finish, with the 2019 World Champion, Mads Pedersen, able to outsprint Wout van Aert (Jumbo Visma), to take Trek-Segafredo’s first WorldTour win in nine months. The second longest stage of the week took the race from the still somewhat northern Vierizon, in the Loire Valley, to the commune of Dun-le-Palestel in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. While far from the most mountainous, it had enough about it to tempt the breakaway king, Thomas De Gent, into trying his luck.
