Unfortunately, not all 154 starters of the Paris-Nice 2022 will be able to reach the end of the race. As in any stage race, in fact, also in the transalpine race there will inevitably be several runners forced to abandon the competition before being able to complete it due to falls, accidents, injuries or various illnesses. Already in the first stage, the Mantes-la-Ville – Mantes-la-Ville of 159 kilometers, the first retirement was recorded: it is Felix Großschartner (Bora-hansgrohe), who was involved in a fall 47 kilometers from the end and appeared painful in the shoulder. Transported to hospital, the Austrian was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone.

Do not start the second stage Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain Victorious), stopped by bronchitis, accompanied by fever in the night, and the French Rudy Barbier (Israel-Premier Tech), also ill. The many falls that unfortunately characterized the stage forced Nils Eekhoff (Team DSM) to retire, who suffered a concussion and received some stitches for a wound on his cheek, and Mads Würtz Schmidt (Israel- Premier Tech).

The falls of the previous day left their marks within the group. In fact, Guillaume Boivin (Israel-Premier Tech) does not start due to back pain, while both Yuriy Natarov (Astana Qazaqstan) and Samuele Battistella (Astana Qazaqstan) fail to finish the stage, who gives up due to pain to the knee as a result of the fall that saw him involved in the leg of the previous day. On the other hand, Ben O'Connor (Ag2r Citroën) and Maximilian Schachmann (Bora-hansgrohe) do not participate in the time trial, both suffering from a flu.

The fifth stage has five retired and 18 non-starters. Victims of seasonal ailments include Yves Lampaert (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), suffering from sinusitis, Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost), bronchitis, as well as Gino Mäder (Bahrain-Victorious). The battered Dylan Groenewegen and the sick Nils Politt (Bora-hansgrohe), Kevin Vermaerke (Team DSM), Clément Champoussin (Ag2r Citroen) and Amaury Capiot (Arkéa-Samsic) didn't leave for physical problems. Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates) was still battered after the crash on Monday. Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl also loses Zdenek Stybar , while EF Education-Easy Post, in addition to Powless, also Stefan Bissegger , Lukas Wisniowski and Jens Keukeleire . Worse goes to Alpecin-Fenix, with Kristian Sbaragli , Jonas Rickaert and Jay Vine returning home, and to Israel-Premier Tech which after the retirement of the sick James Piccoli , Carl Frederik Hagen and Tom Van Asbroeck remains with only Hugo in the race Houle. The other retired after the stage, in addition to Wisniowski, were Stan Dewulf (Ag2r Citroen), Tom Bohli (Cofidis), Alexys Bruynel (UAE Team Emirates) and Luis Léon Sanchez (Bahrain-Victorious).

The sixth fraction also starts with several fewer riders, six, while during the day five other men raise the white flag. Non-starters are Luke Durbridge (Team BikeExchange-Jayco), Simon Geschke (Cofidis), Dmitriy Gruzdev (Astana Qazaqstan), Markus Hoelgaard (Trek-Segafredo), Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Fenix) and Baptiste Planckaert (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert) , many of these due to the flu virus that has affected other runners in recent days. Due to fatigue during the stage he leaves Fabio Jakobsen (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), also imitated by Jan Polanc (UAE Team Emirates), Ruben Fernandez (Cofidis), Jordi Warlop (B&B Hotels-KTM) and Aimé De Gendt (Intermarché- Wanty-Gobert), also the latter due to illness.

Bronchitis also puts out Michael Storer (Groupama-FDJ) who does not start the penultimate stage. Yevgeniy Fedorov (Astana Qazaqstan), Geoffrey Soupe (TotalEnergies), Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies), Max Walscheid (Cofidis) and Dimitri Claeys (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert) are not lined up for the departure from Nice. Definitely unlucky Kevin Geniets (Groupama-FDJ) who, at the moment of the preliminary operations to the start, was hit by an advertising panel, knocked down by the wind. Having fallen badly and injured his ankle, the Luxembourg rider tried to take the start but was forced to abandon during the transfer. During the stage, bronchitis forces Alexis Vuillermoz (TotalEnergies) to retire, while Oliver Naesen (Ag2r Citroen) Florian Sénéchal (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), both ill, Stefan De Bod (Astana Qazaqstan), Mike Teunissen also climb to the flagship (Jumbo-Visma) and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert). Cees Bol (Team DSM) leaves the race just before the ascent of the Col de Turini, after being on the run.

Eight other riders do not show up at the start of the last stage: David De La Cruz (Astana Qazaqstan), who felt flu symptoms during the night, David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), who has been in pain for days after the fall in the second leg, on a par. by Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar), who did not start together with his team mate Johan Jacobs , who was tired. Not even Matthew Holmes (Lotto Soudal), who is also ill, Damien Touzé (Ag2r Citroen), Lucas Hamilton and Luka Mezgec (Team BikeExchange-Jayco) start, while during the day there are 29 riders to raise the white flag, many of whom had nothing more to ask from the race because they were far away in the standings or because the route of the stage was not suited to their characteristics, but also because of the difficult weather conditions or because they had worked for their teammates in the initial stages.

Not to finish the race are therefore Bryan Coquard (Cofidis), Niccolò Bonifazio (TotalEnergies), Otto Vergaerde (Trek-Segaredo), Juan Sebastian Molano (UAE Team Emirates), Luke Rowe (Ineos Grenadiers), Gregor Mühlberger (Movistar), Domen Novak (Bahrain Victorious), Simon Carr (EF Education-EasyPost), Iljo Keisse and Michael Morkov (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), Nick Schultz and Campbell Stewart (Team BikeExchange-Jayco), Rein Taaramae and Loic Vliegen (Intermarché-Wanty- Gobert), Jérémy Lecroq , Luca Mozzato , Alexis Gougeard and Cyril Lemoine (B&B Hotels-KTM), Thomas De Gendt , Philippe Gilbert , Sebastien Grignard and Harm Vanhoucke (Lotto Soudal), Christophe Laporte , Rohan Dennis and Nathan Van Hooydonck (Jumbo- Visma), Sam Bennett , Danny Van Poppel , Ryan Mullen and Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-hansgrohe). The retirement of the latter, who was involved in a downhill fall in which he suffered several abrasions and bruises, means that the German team is the only team in the group that has not managed to bring even a rider to the finish. To conclude the race, during which 95 dropouts were registered, there are only 59 men.
