Preview. 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 3 will be the final day of the race and decide the overall classification.
The final and queen stage should be a chaotic. Only 139 kilometers on the menu, it is a little appetizer for the final day of Paris-Nice, taking place in the same roads. It immediately starts with an ascent that should see a lot of attacks and chaos spread. 6.9 kilometers at 5.1% and 6.9Km at 6.3% in the opening third of the stage will open many opportunities to turn the GC on it's head.
