The 2021 Mercan'Tour Classic Alpes-Maritimes was the inaugural edition of the Mercan'Tour Classic Alpes-Maritimes road cycling one day race, which took place in the titular department in southeastern France on 24 May 2021. It was rated as a category 1.1 race on the 2021 UCI Europe Tour.[1] The 149.9-kilometre (93.1 mi) long race started in Saint-Sauveur-sur-Tinée and finished atop the summit of the Col de Valberg.[2]
The race was won by Guillaume Martin of Cofidis, who soloed away to victory on the final climb and finished 1 minute and 42 seconds ahead of the next two riders, Aurélien Paret-Peintre and Bruno Armirail, with the former winning the sprint for second.[3][4]
Teams
Four UCI WorldTeams, seven UCI ProTeams, and five UCI Continental teams made up the sixteen teams that participated in the race.[5] Teams could enter up to seven riders each, but many decided not to do so. Five teams (AG2R Citroën Team, Cofidis, EF Education–Nippo, St. Michel–Auber93, and Uno-X Pro Cycling Team) fielded only six riders each, and three other teams (Arkéa–Samsic, B&B Hotels p/b KTM, and Work Service–Marchiol–Vega) fielded only five each, while the remaining eight fielded the maximum number allowed.[6] Of the 100 riders to start the race, only 47 riders finished, with a further three finishing over the time limit.[4]
