The Paris Nice 2026<\/strong>the ‘Race of the Sun’, starts its 84th edition<\/strong> faithful to one of its traditions, which is to leave the Yvelines department at the gates of Paris, an initial day that has a route of 170.9 kilometers between the towns of Ach\u00e8res and Carri\u00e8res-sous-Poissy, which you can follow live on Teledeporte and RTVE Play starting at 3:50 p.m.<\/p>\n The double winner of the Tour de France, Jonas Vingegaard, is emerging as the great favorite<\/strong> to succeed his teammate Matteo Jorgenson as winner of the general classification after last year he had to retire after suffering a fall.<\/p>\n The Portuguese Joao Almeida<\/strong> (UAE) and Spanish Juan Ayuso<\/strong> (Llidl-Trek) are, a priori, the Dane’s strongest rivals, which, together with the demanding route, means that Vingegaard has to work hard to conquer his first Paris Nice.<\/p>\n The first stage offers a layout from less to more that culminates in a technical circuit. After a first half of the route that is relatively comfortable for the cyclists’ legs, the difficulty escalates with four third-class ports<\/strong>. The sequence begins with the dimensions of Gargenville<\/strong> y Vaux-sur-Seine<\/strong>which will serve as wear before the main course of the day.<\/p>\n The focus will fall on the double ascension to the C\u00f4te de Chanteloup-des-Vignes<\/strong>. With an average of 8% and peaks of up to 12%<\/strong>this explosive climb of just over a kilometer will be the perfect setting for distant attacks, eliminating the pure sprinters before the final sprint.<\/p>\n After a winter marked by a fall and a virus that forced him to cancel his participation in the UAE Tour, Jonas Vingegaard debuts in the 2026 season <\/strong>hungry for competition. His team seeks to defend the title achieved last year by Matteo Jorgenson.<\/p>\n For its part, Juan Ayuso faces one of his first big dates with the Lidl-Trek<\/strong>a team he signed for after his high-profile departure from UAE Team Emirates, and arrives at the event after winning the Vuelta al Algarve (Portugal).<\/p>\n Finally, Joao Almeida arrives as leader of the UAE<\/strong> in a race where he already demonstrated his ability in this race by winning a stage. <\/p>\n The day will surely be decided in the final kilometers, with a chain of four third-category mountain passes, the last of them just ten kilometers from the finish line in the town of Carr\u00e8res-sous-Possy.<\/p>\n You can follow the last kilometers of the race live through Teledeporte and the RTVE Play digital platform.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Paris Nice 2026the ‘Race of the Sun’, starts its 84th edition faithful to one<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":557,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
