Stage 3 of Paris-Nice offers up a team time trial, as has become a traditional mid-week fixture in the French stage race. Tuesday's effort is 28.4km long across fairly rolling terrain between Magny-Cours and Nevers.
What's less traditional, however, is how the GC times will be taken. Rather than the time being taken from the fourth rider across the line and given to the whole team, each rider will be given their individual actual time, which could influence the way teams ride.
