Nairo Quintana and Daniel Martínez fought a mountainous day in Paris-Nice

Nairo Quintana is still in the fight on the Tour.

This Friday’s stage was carried out over 213 kilometers.

Mathieu Burgaudeau won this Friday in the Paris-Nice stage, disputed between Courthézon and Aubagne, of 213 kilometers, in which the Colombians Nairo Quintana and Daniel Martínez, like the rest of the peloton, were ready for the mountain day this Saturday, while Primoz Roglic defended the lead.

The day was colored by four mountain passes, which made the race move, as there were many interests in the shirt that identifies the leader of this modality.

The winner played it all in the end. He jumped out of the group of favorites and took the victory, a heart attack stage, because the group came breathing down his neck.

For the Frenchman it is the first triumph of his sports career and it is a great satisfaction for him and his team to have achieved it in this important competition.
