The route of the 2014 edition of Paris-Nice was unveiled by race director Christian Prudhomme on Tuesday morning - and it's the longest edition of the race since 1968.
This year's 72nd edition runs from March 9 to 16 and will not feature an individual time trial stage nor a high mountain finish. It opens up the possibility of a win from a larger pool of riders, not just time trial specialists and/or climbers. Organiser ASO is billing it as a 'race for the daring'.
