After two stages finishing in bunch sprints in the 2024 edition of Paris-Nice, the general classification battle gets underway on Tuesday's stage 3 in Auxerre for the first team time trial of the season.
The stage is 26.9km long and while it begins with a flat run-out along the Yonne River, the course has two small climbs, both of which tip up to between 5 and 6% grades.
