It will be on the 29th of January 2023 that the French peloton will have it's opener, as the riders tackle the Grand Prix La Marseillaise, a hilly race which every year provides a lot of spectacle and early-year action.
The 167-kilometer long race features almost 3000 meters of climbing in what is a very rolling course, where climbers, puncheurs, classics riders and sprinters can all succeed. The main ascents of the race will be the Route des Crêtes (3.4Km; 9.2%), Pas d'Ouiller (7.7Km; 4.2%) and the final ascent the Col de la Gineste (2Km; 6%). Ultimately all climbs end with 10 kilometers to go before a downhill run-up to the city of Marseille where the riders will end their day of racing.
The startlist includes riders such as: Clément Champoussin, Benoît Cosnefroy, Benjamin Thomas, Jake Stewart, Dries de Bondt, Stefan Bissegger, Ben Healy, Neilson Powless, Pierre Latour, Sep Vanmarcke, Dylan Teuns, Arnaud De Lie.

- Does everything need to have a point? If so, 99% of the internet should be wiped away. In relation to recent articles with quotes from other riders, my statement points to the ever more obvious reason why they are asked to comment on the effect of his return.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
