Pedersen takes his turn
A mild weather welcomes the 148 riders taking on stage 3 of Paris-Nice 2022 from Vierzon (1 non-starter: Israel-Premier Tech’s Guillaume Boivin). Three breakaway artists quickly get on the move: Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal), Owain Doull (EF Education-EasyPost) and Alexis Gougeard (B&B Hotels-KTM) break away from the bunch at km 3.
The attackers gain 5'

Gougeard: "When I saw De Gendt was up for it…"
Alexis Gougeard (B&B Hotels-KTM): "I had planned not to go in the breakaway, but when I saw Thomas De Gendt was up for it, I figured it should be interesting. The legs are good these days and I prefer to ride at the front during stages that can be nervous in the peloton. Now the goal remains to make the breaks and to get the best result possible. We’ll try to win one."
...Dewulf: "It was hectic"
Stan Dewulf (AG2R Citroën): "Normally, that’s a sprint I would have liked but I was involved in a crash earlier so we tried to do it with Oli [Naesen]. It was hectic in the end, especially with a tailwind, and there was a crash with [Christophe] Laporte. Tomorrow I want to defend the white jersey as much as possible. With 14’’ on [Stefan] Bissegger it...
Van Aert: "Pedersen started early, and I thought it would play in my favour"
Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma): "Mads [Pedersen] was really impressive today. He’s a strong rider and a specialist for tough finishes like this. He started really early, and I thought it would play in my favour to allow me to pass him, but I wasn’t strong enough in the end. Tomorrow, I hope to do a good time-trial and then we all want to help Primoz [Roglic] to do a...
Holmes: "The day after the time-trial may be the most important"
Matthew Holmes (Lotto Soudal): "There were two riders that we couldn’t let go without us. So Thomas [De Gendt] saved me going in the breakaway, he was able to beat Gougeard in the sprints so that was perfect. The legs are not bad so we’ll see after the time-trial. We’ll focus on the breakaways, chasing a stage, and the polka dot jersey can come along. Obviously,...
Pedersen: "My first World Tour win in a long time"
Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo): "I knew the finish, we did it one lap earlier, and it was perfect for me. Things went different than yesterday, when we were unlucky in the finale. Today the team did a fantastic job, it was a perfect lead out from Alex [Kirsch] and Jasper [Stuyven]. When I felt it was time to go, I just put my head down and sprinted to the line. Luckily...
