Paris - Nice Stage 1 LIVE

La Verrière - La Verrière 169.4 km

With the big TdF boys coming to play and more climbing P-N looks like the high prestige choice this year while Tirreno takes more the role of classics warm-up.

Estimated finish time: 16:45 - 17:10 CET

Lumpy-course sprinter of the Day: Arnaud De............mare
