Prologue preview: Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, 6.1 km (TT)
March 2 update: The Paris-Nice opener in Conflans Ste Honorine is more than just a warm-up stage for a week of racing. The six-kilometre course in the lovely town by the river Seine has what it takes to start sorting the peloton and to play a role in the final decision one week ahead in Nice. Race director Francois Lemarchand warned the riders against taking this prologue lightly: “It is a town circuit designed to take advantage of the beauty of the river banks for the first two kilometres. Then there is a sharp change of rhythm with a short and hard climb requiring swift recuperation. Because behind it lie four kilometres that will be a real test of strength and power. It really is a course for in-form riders. In my opinion, there could already be a gap of some 20 seconds between the winner and the tenth-placed rider at the finish. It’s not huge but it’s a gap that will need to be bridged by the riders looking for final victory. And a rider finishing 40th might well consider he has the race lost. I can see Tom Dumoulin win this. Or Contador, why not? It would be a sign he’s in great form.”
