The current stage of the Paris-Nice cycling race marks a shift in focus towards climbing, with stage four featuring five smaller climbs leading to a significant category one summit finish at La Loge des Gardes. Despite identifying gaps among general classification contenders through previous team time trials, their climbing capabilities have yet to be thoroughly assessed. This stage is crucial for understanding who among the favorites is truly in contention for the overall win, as the competition heats up with the real test of climbing endurance beginning.
Yesterday's team time trials revealed significant gaps among the GC favourites, yet their true climbing abilities remain untested before today's challenging stage.
Stage four brings the competition to a head with the inaugural climbing day, featuring five smaller climbs culminating in a category one summit finish.
As we greet stage four, the anticipation builds; today's climbs will offer us a clearer picture of the contenders for Paris-Nice victory.
Climbing legs are about to be tested, promising an exciting day for both the riders and the viewers following this pivotal part of the race.
