PREVIEW | Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var 2023 Stage 1 - Puncheurs and sprinters to rule explosive day 1

Throughout the 17th to 19th of February the French peloton will take on the Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var, based on the southeastern tip of France and based around the region of Nice, a race full of climbing tests. Stage 1 will be an interesting day for the classics riders, puncheurs and sprinters who can survive the climbs.

Stage 1 will be an interesting first test. It is a stage that features several ascents throughout the day, and they intensify over the final kilometers. There will be four ascents inside the final 25 kilometers, three of them inside the final 12 kilometers.

They will have 2.4Km at 2.9% (11Km to go), 1.2Km at 4% (5Km to go) and the hilltop finale into Ramatuelle will be 1.2 kilometers long at 4% which will favour those with explosive power but the capacity to ride longer efforts.
