Roglic survives Yates attack to win Paris-Nice race

NICE (France): Primoz Roglic won cycling's eight-day Paris-Nice race on Sunday crossing the finish line third on a rainy French Riviera seafront for a narrow, tense victory. The Slovenian rider had to chase hard as race runner-up and Sunday's stage winner Simon Yates broke away of the final climb before a 15km daredevil downhill dash into Nice where he won the day on the celebrated Promenade des Anglais.

Roglic famously lost the 2020 Tour de France on the final day and crashed out here on the final day last year.
