Together with the Paris – Nice 2018 World Tour stage races make the debut on European soil. The French event is traditionally one of the two stage races that introduce the pretenders to the first Monument race of the season, Milano – SanRemo, through the path that leads to Cote d’Azur mild climate from freezy Northern France. The Paris – Nice will take place for the seventyfifth time and the 2018 edition of the race held by ASO will occur between 4 and 11 March. Twenty-two teams are taking part to the event, eighteen of which are World Teams whereas the remaining four are French professional teams: Fortuneo-Samsic, Direct Energie, Cofidis and Delko-Provence Marseille-KTM conclude the list.
