Paris-Nice 2009 Dashboard
Race Info, Results, Photos, Live Video and Highlights
Luis Leon Sanchez (Spa) has thrilled bike racing fans during the last two editions of Paris-Nice. Last year in 2009, he notched a solo mountain stage win that was instrumental in his overall win and two years ago (pictured here) he hung on for a solo win on the last stage while descending the final mountain and flat finish into Nice.

Stage 8 preview: Nice → Nice 119k (mountainous)
Stage 8. Between the start and return descent to Nice are three cat 1 climbs. Luis Leon Sanchez successfully soloed the descent and run into the finish last year.
. Weather wise it will be a nice day in Nice for stage 8 with a high of 18C/64F and sunny. Here are your online video alternatives for stage 8. British Eurosport will have delayed coverage for the final stage, but Eurosport France may be live. It's the weekend you know and Eurosport has other priorities.

Stage 7 preview: Manosque → Fayence 191k (mountainous)
March 13 update: Stage 6 may have officially been Queen Stage but Stage 7 isn't too shabby either with 10 categorized climbs including 3 cat 2's and 1 cat 1. In fact, it may be a more difficult stage than yesterday's and it has an uphill finish as well. (The last 2.1 km average 5%). The weather continues to get warmer as you'd expect in a race to the sun with "scattered clouds, high 19C/66F" forecasted. Here are your online video alternatives for stage 7. Eurosport will have live coverage but just the last 45 minutes compared to two hours yesterday. It's the weekend you know and Eurosport has other priorities.

March 12 update: Big mountain stage today with six catergorized climbs including a mountaintop finish on the cat 1 La Montagne de Lure (13.6k at 6.6%) otherwise known as Mont Ventoux's little sister. This year's Paris-Nice has once again been very entertaining and with today being the Queen Stage, expect lots of changes in the general classification. It's going to be a good day to do the climb; today's weather forecast calls for "scattered clouds, high 15C/60F." Here are your online video alternatives for stage 6.

March 12 update: Today is the first of four mountain stages that will start shaking things up. Slated for stage 5 are seven categorized climbs including the cat 1 col de Benas at the halfway point; however, the end of today's course is less hilly and the finish in Vallon-Pont-d'Arc is flat. It's going to be a nice day as we head into the Rhone-Alpes with the weather forecast calling for "sunny skies, high 15C/60F." (How about that... Paris-Nice has the same weather forecast today as Tirreno-Adriatico) Here are your free online video alternatives for stage 5. Eurosport will be broadcasting live on tv all
week. See the race summary table for links to the stage 5 profile, course map and timetable. — Steve

|
March 11 update: I hope the sprinters enjoyed the first few stages because their time in the sun is most likely over. It's no wonder all the best sprinters are at Tirreno-Adriatico this year... nice weather, more level terrain. Stage 4 is a hilly one with a cat 3 climb positioned before the descent into Saint-Étienne and the slight uphill over the final km to the finish. The weather forecast calls for a "30% chance of rain, high 10C/50F." Here are your free online video alternatives for stage 4 most of which have country restrictions. Eurosport will be broadcasting live on tv all
week. See the race summary table for links to the stage 4 profile, course map and timetable. — Steve

Stage 3 preview: Orval → Vichy, 175k (rolling)
March 10 update: Another rolling stage with a flat finish. One of two (possibly three) stages for the sprinters at this year's race. The weather forcast is "Cloudy with showers likely. 3 to 6 mm of rain. Windy at times." The forcasted high is only 5C so it could potentially be a miserable day in the saddle.

The weather is suppose to improve today with a cool, mostly sunny day forecasted. A strong 25 mph sidewind might make the race hard to keep together as the riders make their way south to the finish in La Chapelle-Saint-Ursin. There will be lots of online video alternatives for stage 2 but there are restrictions. Eurosport will be broadcasting live on tv all week.

Stage 1 preview: Amilly, 9.3km TT (flat)
March 8 update: Looks like it will be raining and windy for the opening stage today. A fitting way to start Paris-Nice. Last year, it was raining in Amilly for the prologue as well when Tyler Farrar's crash was skillfully captured by a spectator (). If David Millar is hoping to win the GC then he'll be looking to win this rare Paris-Nice time-trial stage. "Wiggins or Millar for the win today in Paris-Nice? Not sure, but I hope one of them will win" says JV. Personally, I'm not keen on time-trials in week long stage races. They are usually too decisive, but this is a short one... just barely longer than the maximum prologue distance (8 km). Adding to the usual confusion of calculating time zone differences is the fact that Sunday 2 AM is the start of daylight savings... at least in the U.S it is. Lucky for your sake, I have it all figured out below regardless of where you live.
Check back at race time for the latest in live streaming video options or chip in by sending us a live video link. Btw, Eurosport is not broadcasting either of the Sunday stages live and I'm waiting to see whether cycling.tv is operating tomorrow before posting a link.
