After reviewing several options for modifying the route and waiting for an improvement in weather conditions in the afternoon, the organisers of Paris-Nice have decided to cancel the 6th stage to preserve the safety of the riders of the 81st edition, in agreement with local authorities. The exceptionally violent winds, which notably caused several tree falls in the region, make the cancellation of the stage inevitable.

With 25km to go, van Anrooij attacked, but she was the next 18km within sight because of an average lead under 10 seconds.
Many attacks out of the big chasing group to try to catch her,
ánd to get rid of the best sprinter in the chasing group, Balsamo, a team mate of solo leader van Anrooy.
But the attacks were all in vain, and van Anrooij ( 21, NL ) celebrated her biggest victory ever. 2nd Balsamo 0:23", 3rd Guazzini 0:23".

women's race ;
A breakaway group of 25 put around three minutes of space on the peloton after a wild day in the crosswinds as the race was hitting its pivotal moment. It’s always a good thing to have a teammate in the breakaway and DSM took full advantage. With 12K to go in the race, Jastrab and Georgi went to the front of the group and pushed the pace, causing a split.

The break was down to six riders, but included in that was sprint sensation Lorena Wiebes of SD Worx and classics specialist and defending race champion Elisa Balsamo of Trek-Segafredo.
For the DSM duo, there was still more work to do. They needed to make it a hard finish.

The next move came with just over 7K to go. Jastrab once again went to the front and ramped it up, but Georgi hung back at the end of the line. Jastrab gave a flick of the elbow, but had no takers to assist on the pacemaking. That’s when Georgi pounced.

The 22-year-old British rider counter attacked and that move proved to be winning moment of the race. Balsamo tried to respond, but didn’t have the legs. The remaining riders in the group failed to get organized and Georgi rode off to glory, scoring her first-career WorldTour victory by one minute, 10 seconds over the rest of the bunch. Balsamo beat out Wiebes in a sprint to the line for second.

CFF League winner = Kalarratas 

  Groves wins sprint stage 4.

CFF League stage 4 winner = Kalarratas
