Extended Highlights – Stage 8 – Paris-Nice 2024

Discover the Stage 8 highlights !

Matteo Jorgenson bridged a gap of nearly two decades in Paris-Nice when he became the first American since 2006 to win the Race to the Sun on Sunday. It was almost a home win for the Californian, who lives in Nice and trains on the roads of the 109.3-km final stage. Gone on the five climbs of the day with Belgian champion Remco Evenepoel and stage 7 winner Aleksandr Vlasov, the Visma-Lease a Bike rider methodically dropped compatriot and childhood friend Brandon McNulty, the leader at the start, to clinch his greatest win to date. Evenepoel, who shook the race with several attempts, sealed a promising Paris-Nice with a prestigious stage win on the Promenade des Anglais.
