Remco Evenepoel begins Tour quest at Paris-Nice as 'big test'

ALTO DO MALHAO PORTUGAL FEBRUARY 18 Final overall winner Remco Evenepoel of Belgium and Team Soudal Quick Step Yellow leader jersey crosses the finish line during the 50th Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta 2024 Stage 5 a 1658km stage from Faro to Alto do Malhao 514m on February 18 2024 in Alto do Malhao Portugal Photo by Dario BelingheriGetty Images.

Paris-Nice commences Sunday as the third WorldTour stage race of the season and the hype has been underway for a battle of two from the 'Big Four', Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) and Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe). 

Evenepoel makes his debut at Paris-Nice, which is considered the first important stage race of the season, while Roglič returns after a year’s absence and looks for a second GC title, adding to his 2022 success. This year both may be looking beyond the finish line in Nice, however, as the eight-day race serves to preview terrain that will be used for the final stages of the Tour de France come July.
