Paris-Nice traditionally marks the first major tour highlight of the cycling season. Although the Tour Down Under and the UAE Tour in January and February have already been recognised as World Tour races in the UCI calendar the first major meeting of the cyclists usually takes place in France. Tirreno-Adriatico starts a day later at the same time. The field of riders for Paris-Nice 2025 is high-calibre: Two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | Lease a Bike), his highly talented team-mate and last year's winner Matteo Jorgenson, two-time world champion Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor Pro Cycling Team), Aleksandr Vlasov (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe) and João Almeida (UAE) have announced their participation.
Paris-Nice 2025: The route with all stages & elevation profiles at a glance
Paris-Nice 2025 offers something for all types of riders: three stages are predestined for sprinters, three for climbers, plus a puncheur stage and a team time trial.
Stage 1 | Sunday, 9 March | Le Perray-en-Yvelines - Le Perray-en-Yvelines | 156.1 kilometres | 1400 vertical metres
The long-distance race begins 45 kilometres south-west of the French capital's city centre in Le Perray-en-Yvelines. On paper, a start for the sprinters, courageous attackers will try their luck on the short climb around nine kilometres before the finish to beat the peloton.
Stage 2 | Monday, 10 March | Montesson - Bellegarde | 183.9 kilometres | 1200 vertical metres
If there is not enough time for a bunch sprint on the first day, the second section is almost a mown meadow for the fast men. However, there is always the risk of wind edges in the area, as in 2019, when there were time gaps between the favourites on the way to Bellegarde and Egan Bernal laid the foundation for his later overall victory.
Stage 3 | Tuesday, 11 March | Circuit Nevers Magny-Cours - Nevers | 28.4 kilometres (team time trial) | 250 vertical metres
Stage 3 is a team time trial with a special format that has been used in Paris-Nice for the last two years. The time for the team, i.e. for the daily classification, stops after the first rider of each team. For the overall classification, each rider will be timed individually. This format will also be used for the Start of the Tour de France 2026 in Barcelona give.
Stage 4 | Wednesday, 12 March | Vichy - La Loge des Gardes | 163.4 kilometres | 3100 vertical metres
After the first test for the classification riders in the team time trial, the first mountain finish of Paris-Nice 2025 follows the next day. 3100 metres in altitude have to be overcome on the 163.4 kilometres towards La Loge des Gardes. The finish is 6.7 kilometres uphill with an average gradient of 7.1 per cent.
Stage 5 | Thursday, 13 March | Saint-Just-en-Chevalet - La Côte-Saint-André | 203.3 kilometres | 2800 vertical metres
Stage 5 is a feast for puncheurs. On the last 50 kilometres, there are numerous short, poisonous climbs where the lactate will shoot through the riders' legs. The final ramp, the Mur de Notre-Dame-de-Sciez, will separate the wheat from the chaff on the up to 18 per cent steep ramps.
Stage 6 | Friday, 14 March | Saint-Julien-En-Saint-Alban - Berre l'Étang | 209.8 kilometres | 1500 vertical metres
The sprinters should get another chance before the final weekend. At 209.8 kilometres, the longest stage has three category 3 mountain classifications, but should not pose any major problems for the fast men.
Stage 7 | Saturday, 15 March | Nice - Auron | 109.3 kilometres
On Friday, A.S.O. announced a short-term Change of route for the 7th stage announced on Saturday. The reason for this is the unfavourable weather conditions in the Alpes-Maritimes region, particularly at higher altitudes. Here is the new stage profile.
Stage 8 | Sunday, 16 March | Nice - Nice | 119.9 kilometres | 2300 vertical metres
The final day of Paris-Nice 2025 will be short and sweet. The Col de la Porte will be ridden again for the first time since 2010 on the 120-kilometre lap around Nice. Afterwards, the Côte de Peille, Col d'Èze and Col des Quatre Chemins offer a last chance to turn the tide in the overall standings.
