While the 73th Paris-Nice will be released in its entirety in two months (February 3, 2015) during a press conference at the headquarters of the General Council of Yvelines, Versailles, we already know some details about the 2015 edition. There will be a stage with a finish at the top of Col de la Croix de Chaubouret, in the Pilat. An unprecedented arrival according to Lequipe.fr, near Saint-Etienne.
This mountain has been climbed eight times during the Tour de France. Depending on which side of the club is used, the peloton faces 14 or 19 kilometers of climbing. The gradients are not steep, at 4.8% or 3.8% respectively but several sections of the climb touch 9%.
This year, the Colombian Carlos Betancur (Ag2r La Mondiale) won the general classification. He outdistanced the Portuguese Rui Costa (Lampre Merida) and the French Arthur Vichot (FDJ.fr).
