[2] The teams were announced on 18 January 2024. [2]

Route and stages

Italy hosted the Grand Départ for the first time. [3] [4] 2024 is the 100th anniversary of the first Italian victory in the Tour, won by Ottavio Bottecchia in 1924. [3] The route also visited the microstate of San Marino, making it the 14th country to be visited by a Tour stage. [3] The race will not finish in Paris, owing to preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which start on 26 July. Instead, the tour will finish in Nice with an individual time trial—the last time a time trial was the final stage in the Tour was in 1989. [5] [6]

In October 2023, Christian Prudhomme announced the full route. [7] The route was described as "tough" by riders, with particular concern for the gravel tracks on stage 9 and limited opportunities for sprinters. [8]

Paris–Nice is a professional cycling stage race in France, held annually since 1933. Raced over eight days, the race usually starts with a prologue in the Paris region and ends with a final stage either in Nice or on the Col d'Èze overlooking the city. The event is nicknamed The Race to the Sun, as it runs in the first half of March, typically starting in cold and wintry conditions in the French capital before reaching the spring sunshine on the Côte d'Azur. The hilly course in the last days of the race favours stage racers who often battle for victory. Its most recent winner is American Matteo Jorgenson.

In the most recent years, only cyclists who will remain below 26 in the year the race is held are eligible.
