American rider Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) crashed out of Paris-Nice on stage 6 and was later taken to hospital. Although he was later cleared of sustaining any serious injuries the fall and departure from the race ended the 22-year-old’s chances of finishing on the podium.

McNulty had raced well during the opening five stage of the French stage race and sat third overall heading into stage 6 from Brignoles to Biot.
