Paris-Nice 2025, March 9-16

[Lequack]

So Vingegaard comes fresh from his Algarve win to dominate yet another stage race. The others will have to settle for 2nd place or lower. O'connor and Almeida might try something though. And Buitrago has been in good form as well
Also notable is the TTT of 28 km, where Visma will take even more time with the help of Star Wars helmets.

Notable GC mentions: Vingegaard, Jorgenson, O'Connor, Almeida, Buitrago, Skjelmose, McNulty, Vlasov, Sivakov, Bardet
Notable sprinters: Merlier, Pedersen, Kristoff, Andersen, Demare, Jakobsen, Matthews

In this thread you can complain about Vingegaard making the race boring, for Pogacar use the Strade Bianche thread.

It's not Vingegaard's fault. If Evenepoel was here it could've been an exciting race. He would take time in the ITT, which pushes Vingegaard on the attack in the mountains.

It's a TTT

Just to be dropped like a stone in the first Vingegaard's attack

 

[Didinho]

Vingo gonna get yoyo'd.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Someone should convince Vingegaard that every climb here is secretly Alto da Foiá in disguise, then we might have an actually-interesting race.

 

[Berniece]

Nevermind then

Just to be dropped like a stone in the first Vingegaard's attack

Yeah because Vingegaard seemed really strong in Algarve

 

[Escarabajo]

This route looks better than Tirreno's this year. IMHO.

Wasn't that the case last year as well? At least that's how I remember it 🤔

I assume you mean Lund, whose not-really-used last name is Andresen.

 

[hayneplane]

ironic that the race known as the race to the sun with its north to south route both starts and finishes with stages that loop back to their start town.

 

[Sciatic]

A friend told me that her dog once found a squirrel under a parked van, and ever since then while out for a walk the dog stopped to look under every stationary van thinking a squirrel might be under it.
I feel the same way about Paris-Nice threads

 

[Scarponi]

Which rider will launch the ultimately futile attack on EZE?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Time for Jorgenson to sharpen his blade and pull a Brutus.

Reminiscing about the legendary Paris-Nice “.” thread.

In this thread you can complain about Vingegaard making the race boring, for Pogacar use the Strade Bianche thread.

The race in all likelihood being boring has more to do with this pathetic level of a startlist where the main competition comes from his own team, because Vingegaard from Algarve couldn’t intimidate a child.

 

[search]

Haven't seen a full start list yet, but I don't think it will be a boring race at all. The parcours looks good to me, and even if Vingegaard turns out to be superiour (which I don't think), it will mostly affect the final weekend only anyway.

Reminiscing about the legendary Paris-Nice “.” thread.

I still think the meaning is very unclear?

 

[Rou]

I want to see Buitrago step up and stay on Vingegaard's wheel on Auron.

 

[topcat]

All eyes will be on Castrillo, Alaphilippe and Van Wilder. It's largely irrelevant what Vingo, Jorge and yoyo do here.

 

[Wyndbrook]

Never the same after 88.

"I hope to win! I want to win Paris-Nice. That’s my objective. I only have super good memories from Paris-Nice. I love it, it’s my favourite race on the calendar. It’s one of the biggest, if not the biggest, one-week stage races. That’s at least how I view it, it’s the one I like the most."

Matteo Jorgenson: "I want to win Paris-Nice" - Paris-Nice 2025

How does it feel to be back in competition? I’m glad, like every year, to make it through the opening week-end with all my skin on my body! And I also have a go
