Stage 5: Saint-Just-en-Chevalet – La Côte-Saint-André – Stage 5 of Paris-Nice 2025, filled with steep ascents all the way to a spectacular summit finish at La Côte-Saint-André, favoured a lightweight – Lenny Martinez (Bahrain Victorious), who surged to victory inside the last 100 metres after an animated finale. The young French climber got the better of Matteo Jorgenson (Visma – Lease a Bike) and resisted his countryman Clément Champoussin (XDS Astana) to take his most prestigious victory to date, on slopes that saw Jonas Vingegaard (Visma – Lease a Bike) crumble. The Dane suffered a crash early in the stage, rapidly resumed action, and eventually finished 16th, with a gap of 26’’. The yellow and white jersey thus returns to Jorgenson… with Vingegaard in 2nd place of the overall standings (+22’’). Martinez moves up to 5th (+55’’).
