Stage 4
Paris-Nice is the first day with quite a bit of climbing. 2700 meters of climbing on the menu doesn't make it a true mountain stage, but you can't neglect it, and it will be the day when the riders truly understand their form going uphill.
Tirreno-Adriatico: The third day of racing is a mixed one, with plenty of scenarios possible to decide the stage. The 240 kilometers on the bike will make it a long and challenging day, with a few climbs on the menu. A small bunch sprint or late attack can succeed on the day.
