Jonas Vingegaard of Team Visma-Lease a Bike clinched his first overall victory at Paris-Nice on Sunday, March 15, 2026. The two-time Tour de France champion secured the title, known as the 'Race to the Sun,' with a consistent performance across the eight-day event.
French rider Lenny Martinez (Groupama-FDJ) won the final stage in a sprint finish, narrowly beating Vingegaard to the line on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. Vingegaard had already won two stages earlier in the race, which solidified his overall lead.
The final general classification saw Vingegaard finish ahead of Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) in second and Matteo Jorgenson (Team Visma-Lease a Bike) in third. This victory marks a significant early-season success for Vingegaard as he builds towards the Tour de France.
