The organiser of Paris-Nice has shortened today's stage three due to an overnight snowfall.

Riders awoke to find the ground covered in a layer of snow, and although the covering could not be considered thick, race organiser ASO has elected to shift the start town by 53km along the stage route. The stage will now consist of 155km of racing.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
