Quelle démonstration de la Team Visma | Lease a Bike ! Largement dominatrice sur ce contre-la-montre par équipe, elle s'est imposée avec 15 secondes d'avance sur la Team Jayco-AlUla, et 25 secondes sur la Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe. Leur grand rival, UAE Team Emirates XRG, a même été repoussé à plus de 40 secondes ! Matteo Jorgenson, vainqueur l'année dernière et qui a passé en tête la ligne juste devant Jonas Vingegaard, en profite pour prendre le maillot jaune de leader à Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step), qui n'aura donc pas réussi à le conserver après ses deux victoires inaugurales.

00:00Off we go, Mathéo, congratulations, first man to pass the line, first man to be interviewed.
00:09Take us through this, it was the first key moment of Paris-Nice.
00:14Yeah, no, I think, just proud of the boys, and I think we did really like the plan as well as we could.
00:25And I'm just happy with the commitment from everyone.
00:28I don't take it for granted having six guys next to me all committed to a plan.
00:34It feels good to have it behind us now.
00:37So what was the plan? With such a strong team, it was to have the strong riders peeling off every now and again?
00:43Yeah, we wanted to use our two motorbikes, Per and Edo, to the best of our ability
00:50and have them do their turns before the steep climb at the end.
00:55The goal was to get four of us over the steep climb, which we were able to.
01:00I'm proud of both Bart and Victor for making it over that.
01:05From the top of the steep climb to the finish, it was just about getting to the corners as fast as possible
01:11and taking the last kilometre with everything we had left.
01:16Looking good to possibly retain your title?
01:21I hope so, I hope so. That would be the ideal scenario.
01:26Because tomorrow you will be wearing the yellow jersey for the very first time, actually.
01:30That's true, that's true. I never wore it last year.
01:33I took it on what I would call the right moment, stage 8.
01:36But this year we'll have to defend a few stages, so I think we have the team to do it after what I saw today.
