The 2022 Paris–Nice was a road cycling stage race that took place between 6 and 13 March 2022 in France. It was the 80th edition of Paris–Nice and the fourth race of the 2022 UCI World Tour.[1][2]
All 18 UCI WorldTeams and four UCI ProTeams made up the 22 teams that participated in the race.[2] Each team entered a full squad of seven riders, for a total of 154 riders who started the race.[3]
A wave of flu-like symptoms, although with no positive COVID-19 test results, resulted in an unusually high attrition rate as many riders were forced to withdraw from the race.[4] A total of 37 riders withdrew before the final stage or abandoned during the stage, as most of them were not in contention for any of the final classifications. As a result, only 59 riders finished the race,[5] which was the fewest number since the 1985 edition.[6]
