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.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
