Stage 3 preview: Châtel-Guyon → Brioude, 171 km (lumpy)
March 5 update: Stage 3 features more narrow roads, but are more lumpy than those of Stage 2. There are three categorized climbs including a cat 2 cresting 15 km from the finish. The finish is in Brioude, a wooded hamlet of just 700 people. From the finish profile and map above, you can see there is twisting, narrow dip and a small hill just 4 km from the finish and a roundabout in the final km which will aid a late break. There is a 90% chance of rain... so all things considered, the real Paris-Nice starts today. — Steve

March 4 update: 60% chance of rain, 26 km/h ESE head/crosswind, narrow roads and a 4% uphill finish (see the last 5 km profile, right) should make Stage 2 a classic Paris-Nice stage. More to come... — Steve

March 3 update: Starting from one of the wealthiest suburbs of Paris, we'll head south around the perimeter of Paris and then on to Nemours with only one modest cat 4 along the way. After 195 km of racing, the finish is flat and fairly straight-forward except for a sharp left hand turn with 550m to go before the road narrows down. Expect at least a bunch sprint, but this is Paris-Nice so anything can happen. Monday's weather forecast is calling for a beautiful sunny winter's day with a 16 km/h SE wind. — Steve
