Mads Pedersen Wins Stage 6 of Paris-Nice as Jonas Vingegaard Withdraws After Crash

Vingegaard's withdrawal follows a hand injury sustained during Stage 5, while Matteo Jorgenson strengthens his lead in the general classification.

Mads Pedersen claimed victory in the rain-soaked Stage 6 of Paris-Nice, marking his third career stage win in the event.
Jonas Vingegaard, a two-time Tour de France winner, abandoned the race before Stage 6 due to a hand contusion sustained in a crash during Stage 5.
Vingegaard's teammate Matteo Jorgenson retained the yellow jersey and now holds a 40-second lead in the general classification over Florian Lipowitz.
The challenging conditions and strategic moves by teams Visma-Lease a Bike and Ineos split the peloton, leaving several general classification contenders, including Joao Almeida and Lenny Martinez, significantly behind.
Lenny Martinez, who had won Stage 5, lost over nine minutes in Stage 6, effectively ending his podium hopes in the overall standings.
