Paris-Nice stands as one of the most prestigious and demanding stage races on the World Tour circuit, drawing an elite field of climbers, sprinters, and classics specialists each year. The 2024 edition unfolds from March 9 to 16, and we take a closer look at Stage 3.
The third day of competition features a team time trial, a discipline gaining prominence this season due to its inclusion in the Tour de France. Teams will use this 28-kilometer course as a testing ground for their setups, navigating a route that isn't entirely flat—making pacing strategy crucial.
The stage kicks off at the Magny-Cours race circuit, where riders will tackle pristine, smooth tarmac before transitioning onto a long, straight stretch leading into Nevers. Upon reaching the town, they'll encounter a 900-meter ascent at a 6% gradient, with a short yet punishing ramp that touches double-digit inclines. The closing kilometers will be rapid, featuring a gradual downhill run before a final uphill surge to the finish line. Pacing this section will be anything but straightforward.
