Paris-Nice: Harold Tejada survives late issue and launches daring attack to win stage 6 solo

  • March 13, 2026

A daring late attack over the top of the final climb of stage 6 of Paris-Nice has netted 28-year-old Colombian Harold Tejada (XDS-Astana) his first WorldTour victory and the second win of his pro career.

Searing down the broad descent off the cat. 2 Côte de Saignon and through the narrow streets of the finish town of Apt, Tejada finished just a handful of seconds ahead of a small group led by Dorian Godon (Ineos Grenadiers) and Lewis Askey (NSN).

After the remnants of a day-long break of four were reeled in thanks to Lidl-Trek’s chase and a brief skirmish between some of the favourites, Tejada made the most of the GC riders’ mutual control to go clear for the victory.
