Team time-trial and Col de la Couillole headline 2023 Paris-Nice route presentation

Paris-Nice is every year one of the biggest and most prestigious stage-races of the year and 2023 should be no exception. The French race's organizers revealed the 2023 route which features some novelty with a large team time-trial.
The eight-stage race follows a familiar format, travelling from the north to south of France, which doesn't give much opportunity for the organizers to set mountainous stages at it's start. Several opportunities for the sprinters will arise in the opening days of the race, and on the third stage there will be a 32-kilometer team time-trial, a discipline now rare in the peloton, which will see a grand return.
The last half of the race will feature a couple of hilly days which can both favour breakaway wins or see the sprinters battle it out for the victories, before arriving in the mountains on the final weekend.
The queen stage will be on the penultimate day as the riders return to the Col de la Couillole for the biggest summit finish of the race, in a climb that is 15.7 kilometers at 7.1% average gradient. In the final day of racing the riders will have the traditional explosive hilly day around Nice where the GC will be decided.
Furthermore the wildcards, besides Lotto Soudal and TotalEnergies who had them automatically, have been given to the same teams as in the Tour de France: Israel - Premier Tech and the Uno-X Pro Cycling Team.
Last season Primoz Roglic won 'The Race to the Sun' after resisting the surge of Simon Yates inside the final day of racing.
