The 83rd edition of Paris-Nice will feature three stages for the sprinters, three summit finishes and one final showdown stage through the mountains of Nice on its 1,206-kilometre course. But arguably the most eye-catching feature, for the third year running, is the stage 3 team time trial, this time over an extremely rolling 28.4 kilometre route and with a short but painfully steep climb mid-way through, the Côte de la Pisserotte.
Last year's slightly easier equivalent TTT stage saw 2022 Paris-Nice winner Primoz Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) lose nearly a minute and nearly all chance of victory. Although a Cat.1 summit finish the following day at Loge des Gardes the next day will switch the GC focus to the high mountains, in 2025 the team time trial could once again have a pivotal role to play in the final outcome.
