Paris-Nice

Over the years, our team has left its mark on a large number of stage races, and one of these is Paris-Nice. Created in 1933, when it linked the French capital to the city that Henri Matisse called home, the event known also as “The Race to the Sun” has witnessed the Wolfpack win a total of 20 stages, the most recent of which were notched up by Tim Merlier.

This year’s edition will feature around 1250 kilometers of racing, 27 classified climbs and more than 16000 meters of elevation, making for a demanding eight days of racing in early March. Unlike previous years, there won’t be too many opportunities for the sprinters, as the puncheurs and climbers will be favoured by the course that is set to include also an undulating 23.5km team time trial. Together with Auron, coming on the penultimate stage, and the up-and-down final day around Nice - which this year is different - the TTT is expected to shape the general classification of this 84th edition.
