The XDS Astana Team rider attacked shortly before the summit of the final climb, gaining a small advantage over the chasing group already on the descent. In the end, keeping a six-second gap, Tejada crossed the finish line alone to take his first-ever victory at the WorldTour level.<blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">“I had been waiting for this success for a long time, and finally I managed to win in Europe at the WorldTour level. This is the most important victory of my career. Together with the team we came here aiming to fight for the podium in the General Classification, but the rainy and windy stage turned out to be unpredictable and difficult for us. Still, we now have two stage wins and I still have a chance to fight for a Top-10 place overall.</blockquote><blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">Yesterday Alexandr Vinokurov told me that if I felt good, I should try to attack near the top of the final climb. I studied the climb and the descent, so I was ready to go. However, with 25 km to go I had a mechanical and had to stop and change the bike. But the whole team was there: my teammates did an incredible job to bring me back to the group. In the end we caught the peloton before the climb, and I immediately started moving up through the group and reached a good position for the decisive moment.</blockquote><blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">On the descent and then through the town I gave everything I had, and I still couldn’t fully believe that I had won. Incredible feelings. The last few seasons have been going well for me – I felt the progress. The Vuelta a España, the World Championships last year and the UAE Tour at the start of this season gave me extra motivation and confidence, and today everything came together. I often race in the most prestigious WorldTour events, where the level of competition is extremely high and winning is not easy. But together with the team we kept working, and today’s success is the result of that work. There are still two days and two tough stages ahead, so today we will celebrate a little and then focus on the final part of the race”, – said Harold Tejada.</blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">With two stages remaining, Harold Tejada sits 10th in the General Classification of Paris–Nice.<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">Photo credit: ©SprintCycling

Paris–Nice. Harold Tejada wins Stage 6

Kanter won the bunch sprint from the peloton after a superb team effort and a perfect lead-out by Mike Teunissen in the final kilometer of the stage.<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">For Max Kanter, this victory marks his first success in the UCI WorldTour races, while for XDS Astana Team it is the team’s first win at this level in the 2026 season.<blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">“For me, this victory is a dream come true. Paris–Nice is a very prestigious race and winning a stage here is something incredible. The last few weeks have not been easy for me, I had some health issues, and coming here I wasn’t sure about my form. Yesterday, on the first stage, the feelings were not very encouraging, but the speed was still there and today everything came together. I tried to stay focused throughout the whole stage, but the final kilometers were quite nervous, and with 2 km to go we lost many positions. However, Mike Teunissen stayed calm and I trusted him. Mike delivered a perfect lead-out, doing a phenomenal last kilometer and bringing me into the final 200 meters. After that I just gave everything I had in my legs, and no one was able to pass me. This victory gives me a lot of confidence that I can win at this high level. I want to thank the whole team – the guys gave 100% today”, – said Max Kanter.</blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">Photo credit: ©SprintCycling
