C’era grande attesa per la settima tappa della Parigi-Nizza 2026, che doveva proporre un impegnativo arrivo in salita, e invece la fitta nevicata che si è abbattuta sulle Alpi Marittime ha costretto gli organizzatori ad accorciare la frazione: appena 47 chilometri da Pont Louis Nucera a Isola, nei fatti una passerella che non ha offerto particolari spunti per gli scalatori e che ha lasciato immutata la classifica generale nelle posizioni che contano.
Il danese Jonas Vingegaard indossa la maglia gialla di leader con un vantaggio di addirittura 3’22” sul colombiano Daniel Martinez e 5’50” sul greco Georg Steinhauser. La ribattezzata Corsa verso il Sole si concluderà domenica 15 marzo con l’ottava e ultima tappa: 129 km con partenza e arrivo a Nizza, da scalare il Col de la Porte, la Cote de Chateauneuf e la Cote di Linguador, prima di uno strappo di 1400 metri al 4,5% di pendenza media a otto chilometri dal traguardo.
