Paris-Nice 2024 is the 82nd edition of the eight-stage event, often referred to as the 'Race to the Sun'. This year held from 8 to 10 March, it typically opens in wintry conditions near Paris before concluding in the warmer, Mediterranean city of Nice.
One of the biggest week-long stage races in the UCI WorldTour calendar, Paris-Nice is often used by Tour de France hopefuls to test their form or tune up for the season.
Paris-Nice was most recently won by Tadej Pogačar (Slo) of UAE Team Emirates, and the year before by Primož Roglič (Slo). Other recent winners include two-time winner Max Schachmann, 2019 Tour de France winner Egan Bernal, 2018's Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas, as well as Bradley Wiggins, Richie Porte and Alberto Contador.
Going further into the history books, other winners include the likes of Jacques Anquetil and Eddy Merckx, while Sean Kelly claims the most wins with seven, in the 1980s.
Paris-Nice is organised by ASO, the same outfit behind races such as the Tour de France and Paris-Roubaix.
The 2020 event was the last international cycling event, and the last sporting event in France, before mass gatherings were cancelled due to Covid-19.
