France's Dorian Godon won Saturday's shortened seventh and penultimate stage of the Paris-Nice cycling race with Dane Jonas Vingegaard poised for overall victory.
On the eve of the final stage in Nice, two-time Tour de France winner Vingegaard still leads the general classification with a commanding 3min 22sec advantage on Colombian Dani Martinez.
The seventh stage was supposed to be the Queen stage but there was too much snow at the 1600m summit, which was cut out of the race on Friday evening.
Lashing rain on the Promenade des Anglais on Saturday morning meant organisers cut off the opening sector too.
So the peloton breezed through just 47 kilometres, albeit wrapped up in all-weather gear in the Nice region, usually known for clement conditions this time of year.
Ineos rider Godon won the sprint finish ahead of Eritrean Biniam Girmay and Dutchman Cees Bol after only an hour of racing, securing France's first victory in this 84th edition of the 'Race to the Sun'.
