Primož Roglič was untouchable on his way to stage victory on stage four of Paris-Nice 2021, taking the overall lead in the process.
The Jumbo-Visma rider waited until just 3km remained of the final climb to Chiroubles to launch his enormous attack, taking bonus seconds at the intermediate sprint and powering to the line alone.
Despite a commendable effort from Michael Matthews (BikeExchange) to chase down Roglič, it was the Slovenian who dominated the stage and takes over the leader’s yellow jersey from Stefan Bissegger (EF Education-Nippo).
How it happened
The fourth stage of Paris-Nice 2021 from Chalon-sur-Saône to Chiroubles was the first opportunity for the climbers to take back time after the short individual time trial on stage three.
February 2, 2021 – A return to a balanced budget for Newfoundland and Labrador by 2025/26 is “hard, but doable,” say leading economists Don Drummond and Louis Lévesque in a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute. In “The Rock in a Hard Place: The Difficult Fiscal Challenges Facing Newfoundland and Labrador,” the authors turn a spotlight on the root causes of the province’s current fiscal predicament – and prescribe solutions to help safeguard the province’s financial future. The authors track the province’s current fiscal problems back to 2012/13 when the budget balance swung back into deficit and the net debt burden rose. Large budgetary deficits had already opened before the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic compounded the situation.
