Giacomo Nizzolo mette la firma sulla seconda tappa della Parigi-Nizza, vincendo di potenza una volata controvento e regolando il gruppetto di attaccanti selezionato da una tappa inaspettatamente spetttacolare.

Per il secondo giorno consecutivo, la Parigi-Nizza regala una mini classica del Nord. Dopo la prima parte della gara caratterizzata dalla pioggia e dalla fuga di Jonathan Hivert (Total Direct Energie, maglia a pois della corsa) e José Diaz Gallego (Nippo Delko Marseille), la corsa è esplosa a 32 km dal traguardo con la nascita di un ventaglio voluto dalla Trek Segafredo di Nibali e Porte e dalla Bora Hansgrohe di Sagan e Ackermann.

Sfortunatissimo Julian Alaphilippe che a 27 chilometri ha forato ed è stato costretto ad attendere per lunghi istanti la sua ammiraglia, bloccata dietro il gruppetto degli inseguitori. E due chilometri più avanti c'è stata la caduta di Nairo Quintana (per lui escoriazioni al gomito, al ginocchio e all'anca destri), costretto a ripartire dopo qualche istante con la bicicletta che gli ha passato il fratello Dayer. I due al traguardo pagheranno 1'25" dai primi.

Per Nizzolo si tratta della seconda vittoria stagionale dopo quella ottenuta al Tour Down Under in Australia. Alle spalle del portacolori della NTT si sono piazzati Ackermann e Stuyven nell'ordine con Vincenzo Nibali che - come ieri - ha corso molto bene infilandosi nel gruppetto dei migliori, ha lavorato per Stuyven e ha dimostrato di essere in ottima condizione.

In classifica generale continua la leadership di Maximilian Schachmann che con i suoi compagni della Bora Hansgrohe è stato tra i grandi protagonisti della tappa. Nizzolo occupa la seconda posizione, Nibali la nona.
