The stage win and the leader's jersey went to Santiago Buitrago and Lucas Blabb, but Remco Evenepoel can look forward to a big day after stage four of Paris-Nice. By saving time for other candidates, including Primoz Roglic, he did something. “It's not a luxury for Roglic to lose time: if you're good, you'll still join the fight.”
Renate: Is there much to discuss after this first hill stage in Paris-Nice?
Jose: “We saw some pokes left and right, but no one fell through the ice. We saw Remco Evenepoel well. Is this a sign for Saturday and Sunday?”
“He finishes Primoz Roglic in two seconds and that's not a luxury: if you're good, you'll join the fight. You can say: 'He has a plan and he'll do this or that over the weekend', but I know that's not yet, so I would say that everything is going smoothly.” Fine for Evenpoel.”
You could say Roglic has a plan for the weekend, but I don't know that yet.

Renate: Evenpoel buys time aboard Roglic, but in the meantime other people are riding with him as well.
Jose: “It's all there It moves. Yesterday we didn't talk about Santiago Buitrago, but today we did. Is this now suddenly a competitor? no. Is this a good rider? Yes exactly. “A dangerous client could always appear out of the blue.”
“The UAE lost its course today.”
Renate: Can we draw conclusions from Roglic's poor performance? These were the types of slopes that were insurmountable in the past.
Jose: “His team has been on the road with bated breath, but the question is whether they are fully prepared to bring Roglic to Nice.”
Renate: We said yesterday that the UAE has introduced a new factor into the race. But after today they only have a bonus of 3 seconds (McNulty) and 1 second (Almeida) on Evenpoel.
Jose: “They're just wasting time. Those guys are still out there near Evenpool, but they're the ones who lost track today.”
