PARIS-NICE. After two sprints in two days, the favorites are expected in this Paris Nice with a time trial scheduled.
[Mis à jour le 8 mars 2022 à 15h52] First big meeting of the week at Paris-Nice with a fairly demanding time trial of 13.4 kilometers disputed between Domérat and Montluçon. This hilly time trial ends with a small bump of 700 meters at nearly 9% average. The best riders are expected, but the climbers could still limit the breakage. Primoz Roglic, 3rd overall could already take control of the stage race, even if Wout Van Aert, a very complete rider, could do well.
In the meantime, after Pedersen’s victory yesterday, it is still the Frenchman Christophe Laporte who is leading Paris Nice with a small second ahead of the Belgian Wout Van Aert and 9 over Primoz Roglic.
As every year, the race takes place over a week from Sunday March 6, 2022 to Sunday March 13, 2022.
The route of this 80 edition of Paris-Nice was officially unveiled on Wednesday January 5, here are the details of the route:
