Sunday the 72nd edition of Paris-Nice will start. The course differs from last years. The race doesn't start with a prologue and there is no time trial during the week. There aren't many tough climbs. The first three stages are pretty much flat. In the fourth and fifth stage there is each time a climb of second category at about 13 km from the end. It's only on the sixth day that there is a climb of first category: the Col de Bourigaille.

The BMC Racing Team's roster to help Tejay van Garderen at Paris-Nice features an abundance of talent around him, including Tour Méditerranéen winner Stephen Cummings and Dubai Tour champion Taylor Phinney.
