The race: Here's the report from second-place Christian Scaroni's XDS Astana Team:
XDS Astana Team rider Christian Scaroni took second place at today’s Tour Des Alpes-Maritimes.
The French one-day race started in Villefranche-sur-Mer and after 154 kilometers finished in Biot. Christian Scaroni was among the favorites after his victory in 2025. Today, Scaroni finished two seconds behind the winner. Another XDS Astana Team rider Clément Champoussin finished ninth.
“Today we started strong immediately. Of course, we knew it was up to us to control the whole race and we felt some pressure as well. Everyone worked really hard today and did an incredible job. Midway through the race I realized I didn’t have great legs today, they were not responding as well as they had in the last races, so we needed to adjust and play our cards more on the final climb.
"On the final climb, I tried to manage the effort as best as possible. I was really missing that last bit of power in the final 200 meters to go for the win, but I think it’s still a good podium, especially considering that the overall feeling was not great today. I would like to thank everyone for their support and let us see what the next races will bring us", — said Christian Scaroni.
