UAE Team Emirates’ McNulty reclaims yellow in Paris-Nice Stage 6

NICE: It was a cold but successful day at Paris-Nice for UAE Team Emirates as Brandon McNulty reclaimed the yellow jersey after slipping into the winning move in the closing kilometres of Stage 6 from Sisteron to La Colle-sur-Loup (198.2km). McNulty infiltrated a three-man escape alongside Matteo Jorgenson (Visma LAB) and eventual stage winner Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), building up a lead of over a minute on a group of favourites which chased behind. The group would arrive to the line with McNulty confidently pulling on the leader's jersey ahead of two crucial days of defending it. Meanwhile, at Tirreno -Adriatico, Juan Ayuso and Isaac Del Toro put in a defiant display to limit their losses to runaway leader Jonas Vingegaard (Visma LAB) who took the 5th stage from Torricella Sicura to Valle Castellana (144km). Ayuso continues in 2nd place at 54' from the Dane, with Del Toro in 6th at 1'34'. Ayuso also leads the young rider classification. s Source: Emirates News Agency
