The Magny-Cours circuit on the Paris-Nice 2025 route

Cycling and motorsport fans must have been happy to see that their two passions will be united at the 83rd edition of Paris-Nice (March 9-16). Indeed, the Race to the Sun will pass through the Magny-Cours circuit during the third stage.

This is a 25,4-kilometer team time trial that will take place on Tuesday, March 11 between the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours and the city center of Nevers. A race in which the Dane Jonas Vingegaard, double winner of the Tour de France (2022, 2023) and runner-up to Tadej Pogacar in the last edition of the Grande Boucle, will take part.

The route of the stage

It should be noted that this is not the first track to host a major cycling race. Indeed, the circuits have often been surveyed by the pelotons, notably during the Tour de France, such as Nogaro in 2023, Dijon-Prenois or the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans. Beyond the borders, Spa-Francorchamps and Monaco have also had this opportunity in the past.
