Paris – Nice: Stage 1

Bonus seconds can be collected at the top. “Paris-Nice is often decided by seconds”, the race management estimates. “I don’t know if Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar will continue to the finish, but we will see them in action on that Côte.” .

- Little wind. Whoever says Paris-Nice also says wind. But that’s a bit disappointing today. In the Chevreuse, the peloton will encounter many open plains, but the wind is not blowing strongly. It is not as sunny as yesterday in Siena either: about 7 degrees and a thick cloud pack. . 11:52 am.

Today’s assignment. - 10 am 04. Stage 1 in Paris-Nice. Last year Jumbo-Visma realized a real coup with Wout van Aert, Primoz Roglic and Christophe Laporte during the opening day of Paris-Nice. The yellow trio then threw a splinter bomb on a hill in the final and the first saucer of this edition shows similarities. La Verrière is the starting and finishing point and the journey of just under 170 kilometers was marked out by 2 loops. A short slope is the only official obstacle in those two rounds, but the course has quite a lot of relief. Especially the Côte des dix-sept Tournants with the top at 5.5 kilometers from the finish can make the fast men gasp for breath. Do they survive? Do the punchers hit their stride? Or do the great tenors also have to go to work? .
