Paris-Nice 2025 Route stage 1: Perray-en-Yvelines – Perray-en-Yvelines

The route features several loops around Le Perray-en-Yvelines. Most of it is lumpy, with only two truly flat sections: one after 44 kilometres for the first passage of the finish line, and the other in the final stretch itself. The rest of the route is a constant mix of rolling terrain and short climbs.

There are three opportunities to gain KOM points: twice on the Côte de Villiers-Saint-Frédéric and once on the Côte des 17 Tournants. The first climb is 1.2 kilometres at 7%, tackled at kilometres 32.9 and 134.9, while the second is 1.1 kilometres at 6.2%, summited at kilometre 70.1.

After the second ascent of the Côte de Villiers-Saint-Frédéric – which includes a section at 15% – the riders enter a rolling section that ends with a 900-metre uphill at 6.9% to Les Mesnuls, where the intermediate sprint is situated.

The finish line comes 9.5 kilometres after the intermediate sprint, with that stretch being entirely flat.

Last year’s Paris-Nice opened on a similar route. Olav Kooij snatched the yellow jersey by narrowly outsprinting Mads Pedersen, with Laurence Pithie coming home in third.

The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while the intermediate sprint offers 6, 4 and 2 seconds.
