    The participating riders in Paris-Nice 2010In a few days Paris-Nice 2010 will start in Montfort-l'Amaury for 8 stages towards Nice (check out all details of the Paris-Nice 2010 route, including maps on Google Maps/Google Earth).

    The 22 participating teams currently present their lists of participating riders for this 68th edition of the Race to the sun and in this article you can find the list of participants. This article will be updated with their numbers once they've been announced by the organiser of the race, A.S.O.

    Caisse d'Epargne

    Luis Léon SanchezThe Paris-Nice 2009 winner, Luis Léon Sanchez originally didn't plan to participate in Paris-Nice 2010.

    About 10 days ago however, he announced on the team's website: We decided to make an important change in my programme. I will finally participate in Paris-Nice (7-14 March) and not in Tirreno-Adriatico as originally planned. This would have been my first participation in the Italian race and I was really looking forward to it because the stages, as initially announced, included a time trial, a mountain top finish on Montelupone and a middle mountains stage, but the organisers changed the programme and removed both the time trial and the mountain top finish on Montelupone. In those conditions I prefer to defend my title in Paris-Nice, a race which I always liked and in which I can play an important role together with Alejandro Valverde.

    Besides Valverde (recently winner of the Tour Med 2010) and Sanchez, Yvon Ledanois' team will be composed of 6 other riders:
    1/ Luis Léon Sanchez
    2/ Juan Jose Cobo Acebo
    3/ Jose Vicente Garcia Acosta
    4/ José Ivan Gutierrez
    5/ David Lopez Garcia
    6/ Luis Pasamontes
    7/ Mathieu Perget (the winner of the Tour du Limousin 2009)
    8/ Alejandro Valverde

    AG2R La Mondiale

    The team from Chambéry planned to have Rinaldo Nocentini as its leader, but the Italian rider who wore the yellow jersey during 8 days in the Tour de France 2009, fell in the Grand Prix Insubria, flew over the fence and finally landed in a field. He was operated in Italy for a double broken leg and at this time we can only hope he'll be able to make his come-back before the end of the season.

    Dimitri ChampionFinally, the AG2R La Mondiale of Vincent Lavenu and Julien Jurdie is composed of:
    111/ Tadej Valjavec

  1. J'ai eu le privilège d'être un des derniers amis d'Antoine Dignef héros de Paris-Nice 1935 et ce parceque je connaisais la différence entre une auto et Vietto, entre Charles Pélissier et Francis Pélissier, entre Alphonse Daudet et Benoit Faure, entre Wolber et Hutchinson, entre Speicher et Buttafocchi. Si aujourd'hui Paris-Nice est une grande course c'est à cause de tous ces fameux pédaleurs d'il y a 75 ans et des fidèles supporters sur le bord des routes.
