Paris – Nice
On 7th March, the pack will set off on the 68th edition of the Paris-Nice race. After a prologue around Montfort – l’Amaury, which will celebrate a four year partnership between the Yvelines General Council and ASO, the riders will cross through the Beauce-region before passing to the west of the Massif-Central mountains, travelling through Contres and Limoges where the sprinters should reign supreme.
In Aurillac and Mende, at the summit of the Croix-Neuve climb, the pretenders for overall victory will need to be at the forefront. However, nothing will be certain until the final act.
The Col de Vence climb on the road to Tourrettes-sur-Loup could also give a few scares to the leaders, just like the ascents at La Turbie and the Col d’Eze on the menu for what has become the classic last stage in the country around Nice.
