Spain's Ayuso Takes Paris-Nice Race Lead After Team Time-Trial
Ayuso gained the yellow jersey by earning four bonus seconds and benefiting from a close team time trial, holding a 17-second lead with five days left.
- On Monday, Juan Ayuso seized the yellow jersey after stage three of Paris–Nice, taking it from American Luke Lamperti by winning four bonus seconds in the intermediate sprint.
- The 23.5km team time-trial at Pouilly-sur-Loire saw Ineos Grenadiers win, with Lidl-Trek second and Decathlon CMA-CGM third, shaping small GC gaps.

- Ayuso holds a 17sec lead on Jonas Vingegaard with five days to go, while Wednesday's fourth stage covers 195km from Bourges to Uchon with the first summit finish of this year's race.
