If Remco Evenepoel (+36s) and Primoz Roglic (+81s) still harbour GC ambitions, they'll need to make their move today. UAE Team Emirates' Brandon McNulty is in the yellow jersey, but the American's lead has been cut to just four seconds for the final stage of the race, with his compatriot Matteo Jorgenson right on his shoulder.

The Paris-Nice live stream is free to watch on SBS on Demand in Australia, Rai Play in Italy, and RTBF in Belgium. Don't worry if you're abroad right now, because you can watch Paris-Nice 2024 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

How to use a VPN to watch any stream

This is a pivotal event for Roglic for a multitude of reasons. The 2022 Paris-Nice winner's recent split from mighty Visma-Lease a Bike was fraught with risk, because Bora-Hansgrohe is simply nowhere near as strong. However, the switch gives him his best shot at landing a leading role at the Tour de France.

As well as being the first major one-week race of the year, the Paris-Nice is always seen as a miniature dress rehearsal for the Tour. This year the similarities are starker than ever, because the Tour will finish in Nice this summer, in order to avoid a clash with the Paris Olympics.

Starting off in freezing conditions in northern France, the Paris-Nice winds its way down to the French Riviera over the course of eight days. Highlights include the grueling climb up Col d’Eze on Stage 8.
