The 2021 Tour des Alpes-Maritimes et du Var was a road cycling stage race that took place between 19 and 21 February 2021 in the French departments of Alpes-Maritimes and Var. The race was rated as a 2.1 event as part of the 2021 UCI Europe Tour and was the 53rd edition of the Tour des Alpes-Maritimes et du Var cycling race. [1]
Italian rider Gianluca Brambilla of Trek–Segafredo won the race, with Canadian rider Michael Woods of Israel Start-Up Nation in second and Brambilla's Dutch teammate Bauke Mollema in third. Mollema won the first stage, beating a reduced peloton in a sprint up the third ascent of the Col de Gourdon and taking the first leader's jersey. [2] Woods, who had finished fourth on the first stage only one second behind Mollema, won on the short but steep final climb in Fayence on stage two with enough of a margin over Mollema, who had finished second, to take over the leader's jersey. [3] Heading into the final stage, Brambilla had managed to keep pace with the race leaders; despite being in 17th place, he was only 13 seconds behind Woods. Brambilla was a part of the third stage's main breakaway group of 16 riders, but as the group began to disintegrate on the last categorized climb, the Col de la Madone, he attacked, with only Valentin Madouas able to follow. With around 11 kilometers left, he attacked again, and this time Madouas was unable to keep up. Brambilla pushed on over the last climb, the uncategorized Col de Nice, and managed to hold on for the stage win. Despite Woods' best efforts to maintain his lead, he and Mollema finished in a group 18 seconds behind Brambilla, giving the Italian the overall win. [4]
Eleven of the nineteen UCI WorldTeams, eight UCI ProTeams, and three UCI Continental teams made up the twenty-two teams that participated in the race. Each team could enter a roster of up to seven riders, but the only teams not to enter the maximum allowed roster were Alpecin–Fenix, Arkéa–Samsic, St. Michel–Auber93, and Xelliss–Roubaix–Lille Métropole; each of these teams entered six riders. [5] [6] From a total of 150 riders, 117 finished the race. [7]
