Former street world champion Mads Pedersen has won the sixth stage of the Rad-Funrenahrt Paris-Nizza. Florian Lipowitz starts the final weekend as overall overall.
The Dane Pedersen from Team Lidl-Trek prevailed on Friday after 209.8 km from Saint-Julien-Saint-Alban to Berre L’étang in the sprint of a larger group of outliers in front of the British Joshua Tarling and Samuel Watson (both Ineos Grenadiers).
Lipowitz benefits from the exit of Vingegaard
Florian Lipowitz continues to work on a surprise success on the long-distance trip Paris-Nizza. As expected, the 24-year-old benefited from the injury-related departure of superstar Jonas Vingegaard and starts the last two stages as the overall clock in the final weekend.
The Red Bull driver then drives in the white jersey of the best young professional. In the overall ranking, he is 40 seconds behind the American and Vingegaard colleague Matteo Jorgenson, who secured a total of 16 bonus customers.
The seventh stage was shortened by 40 kilometers
The royal stage continues on Saturday. Due to adverse weather conditions with strong snowfall in the mountains, the organizers have shortened the 147 km section, which was originally 147 km long. The unchanged goal in Auron is at 1600 m. The long -distance ride ends on Sunday, also with a mountain stage.
