La course au soleil s’élance dimanche 7 mars, pour l’énième lancement de la saison cycliste. Peu importe, désormais, quelle course démarre vraiment le calendrier annuel : une chose est sûre, désormais, c’est lancé ! Comme toujours, le plateau de ce Paris-Nice est royal, avec des coureurs du plus haut niveau mondial sur la ligne de départ.
Le tenant du titre Luis Leon Sanchez aura fort à faire pour conserver sa couronne face à Alberto Contador, Samuel Sanchez, Damiano Cunego, Christian Vande Velde, Frank Schleck ou Jurgen Van den Broeck.
Les sprinters ne seront pas en reste : André Greipel, Francesco Chicchi, Gert Steegmans, Heinrich Haussler, Borut Bozic, Koldo Fernandez mais aussi William Bonnet et Jimmy Casper se tireront la bourre.
Côté français, la crème sera là : les frères Feillu, les frères Chavanel, Jérôme Pineau, Christophe Moreau, Cyril Dessel, Pierre Rolland, Pierrick Fédrigo, Thomas Voeckler, David Moncoutié, Sandy Casar, Christophe Le Mével, Romain Sicard, et tant d’autres.
