Stage 3 of Paris-Nice 2026 brings the first major shake-up of the general classification as the peloton tackles the race’s decisive team time trial on Tuesday, 10 March.
The 23.5 km test between Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire and Pouilly-sur-Loire is expected to create the first meaningful time gaps among the overall contenders after two sprint stages opened the race.
Teams will roll down the start ramp at four-minute intervals, beginning with Team Picnic PostNL at 15:10 local time, while the yellow jersey squad EF Education - EasyPost will be the final team on the road at 16:34.
Several leading contenders for the overall classification will be hoping their teams can deliver strong performances in the discipline, including Team Visma | Lease a Bike, UAE Team Emirates XRG, Lidl-Trek and INEOS Grenadiers.

- More than 10% improvement if the numbers are true.... It smells fishy.

- I have a feeling that old man Roglic will be the best of all the GC riders today. I'm really curious if that sixth sense still serves me. I don't have much informstion on him, but I have a good feeling about this "grandfather." I used to be his biggest fan... until Pogi came along. Nevertheless, Pogi and Roglic are both my neighbors. Love em both.Mou-Cro-HR09-03-2026

- It’s more the organisers than the motorcyclist who is to blame, they should be briefing and signalling better and have people in place, especially in such a race where you can expect having to leave the tarmac at any junction.Mistermaumau09-03-2026
- Giulio and Isaac are level in ITT ability, with Antonio a bit ahead. Primož paced his effort better and brought back 15 seconds on Isaac in the final 6 km. Thymen is certainly the GC rider in the best position, as he's got 9 seconds over his nearest rival.
Rafionain-Glas09-03-2026 - It's good that Juan is going for bonus seconds already. Jonas should be more attentive - 4 seconds is not nothingRafionain-Glas09-03-2026
- Indeed, here too the motorcyclist is being harshly criticized, even though no Italian cyclist was harmed. Almost all of us have made mistakes at work at some point, I have, therefore I don't destroy people for "isolated" errors. Obviously, after that I improved.
