Description

The final stage of the "Race to the Sun" takes place on the iconic hilly circuit around Nice, serving as the ultimate "mechanical necessity" for those hoping to overturn the general classification. The strategic narrative centers on Jonas Vingegaard, who enters the day with a commanding lead but must remain vigilant against long-range attacks on the technical climbs of the Maritime Alps. The primary hurdle for the peloton is the relentless 129.2km route, featuring the Col de la Porte and the steep Côte du Linguador (3.3km at 8.2%). Tactically, the focus is on the battle for the remaining podium spots, with Dani Martínez and Georg Steinhauser facing pressure from Kévin Vauquelin. The headline story remains whether the breakaway can survive the high-tempo "wearing down" process initiated by the GC teams before the final descent into the Promenade des Anglais.
