Paris-Nice 2024 continues. Following the first opening stage which took place around Les Mureaux, the riders will stay a little longer in Yvelines. For this new 179 km route and this second stage, Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) and the rest of the peloton will leave from Thoiry to leave the Parisian suburbs, and reach Montargis, in the Loiret.
An ideal course for sprinters, where Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) will act as a scarecrow. But the Dane will still have a lot to do, against Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jayco AlUla), Arnaud de Lie (Lotto Dstny), or even Olav Koij (Visma-Lease a bike).
On Monday March 4, a few slopes will still await the runners, despite everything. We find in particular the Côte des Mesnuls (1.2 km at 5.7%), and the Côte de Villeconin (0.7 km at 6.3 km). Before leaving Paris, the peloton, led by Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick-Step), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) and Primoz Roglic (Bora-hansgrohe) will pass through Dourdan and Bouville, in Essonne.
The second stage of Paris-Nice 2024 will be followed from Monday March 4, at 3:10 p.m. on France TV, and at 3:45 p.m. on Eurosport 2.
