Paris Nice 2023 a Pogacar Vingegaard duel date

The race for the sun will see a very enticing duel between the first two of the Tour de France Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar.

An air of Tour de France on the roads of Paris-Nice. From March 5, the traditional race for the sun will set off from the Paris region to reach the south of France and Nice. For this first big stage race, Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard are announced on the entry list. The Slovenian, second in the Tour de France behind the Dane, is already in great shape by winning the Tour of Andalusia on Sunday February 19 for his first outing of the season. It will be a great first for the UAE Emirates rider who has decided to put aside the Strade Bianche. “It was a difficult choice because the Strade-Paris-Nice sequence (March 5 to 12) seemed like a really interesting challenge, but I think this challenge can wait a bit,” explained Tadej Pogacar. It will however be a first big test for Jonas Vingegaard. The last winner of the Tour de France has been discreet on the roads since the end of last season.

As every year, the race takes place over a week from Sunday March 5, 2023 to Sunday March 12, 2023.
