Paris-Nice 2025 will take place from the 9th to 16th March and as is the case every year, it is one of the single most important stage-races in the spring, which attracts big stars every year. This year is no exception and we take a look at the race's profiles.
The race starts off with a finale in Le Perray-en-Yvelines, a day for the sprinters but with a few uphill kicks that can see interesting attacks. Stage 2 to Bellegarde is a certain sprinter day whilst the third stage will be a 28-kilometer hilly time-trial in Nevers that will be key for the yellow jersey fight. Stage 4 will feature a summit finish at La Loge des Gardes (6.7Km at 7.1%). Stage 5 to La Côte Saint-André will be a very interesting day, packed with short and steep climbings and finishing atop a 1.7-kilometer climb that averages 11%, it's steepest point being 18% - resembling the Mur de Huy finale quite a bit.
Stage 6 to Berre L'Étang will be the final opportunity for the fast men as the riders reach the Mediterranean, before the final weekend in the Alpes Maritimes. Stage 7 will features small constant ascents and a summit finish at Auron; and the queen stage to Nice on the final day will feature the traditional ascents of the Côte de Peille, Col d'Èze and Col des Quatre Chemins - a formula that has provided a ton of spectacle over the past few years.
