Watch Paris-Nice from March 8-15 to see the men’s WorldTour peloton in action as the challenging eight-day stage race heads from Parisian suburbs to the Mediterranean Sea. Here are all the details you need to follow the race on live streams and TV channels in the US, UK, Canada, and the rest of the world.
The race begins in the town of Achères on the river Seine, then wends its way south and east to its Mediterranean finish. As usual, there is a varied mix of stage types with flat, mountain/hilly, mixed, and a 23.5km team time trial on stage three.
The winner of the last two editions, Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease A Bike), won’t be defending his title as the American rider has committed to March’s Italian races – Strade Bianche, Tirreno-Adriatico and Milan-Sanremo.
Despite a crash and illness disrupting the start to his season, this year’s Paris-Nice favourite is Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike), who is looking to defend the title for his team. The two-time Tour de France winner was wearing the race leader’s yellow jersey into stage 5 of Paris-Nice last year, but he withdrew after a seemingly innocuous crash which resulted in a concussion and a wrist injury.
Another strong contender is Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates XRG). The Portuguese rider has a consistent Grand Tour pedigree and sprinted to victory in stage 4 of last year’s Paris-Nice race, finishing sixth in the final general classification standings.
Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek) is also a rider to watch for the GC win. While Oscar Onley (INEOS Grenadiers), Kevin Vauquelin (INEOS Grenadiers), Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), Lenny Martinez (Groupama-FDJ), and Michael Matthews (Jayco-AlUla) will all be hunting for stage wins and potential podium finishes too.
There are broadcast options in the UK, USA and Canada, as well as free live streaming options for Paris-Nice.
