    The participating riders in Paris-Nice 2015 and their numbers + start order prologueThis Sunday 8 March 2015, Paris-Nice 2015 will start in Maurepas with a prologue which precedes a race route made up of 7 stages with a total distance of 1134 kilometers!

    In this article you'll find the official participants list, with their bib numbers and nationality. During the week you'll find many photos and at least one article a day with the summary of the stage on velowire.com!


    Here are the participants per team:

    AG2R La Mondiale

    Since Carlos Betancur was last year's winner of Paris-Nice, the Race to the sun which will this year take place under the sun at least for the start in the Yvelines department(!), the AG2R La Mondiale team got the first bib numbers. Carlos Betancur will not participate in the race however and Jean-Christophe Péraud, who finished 2nd in the Jean-Christophe PéraudTour de France 2014, will thus be the leader of the brown/blue team at the start in Maurepas.

    1/ Jean-Christophe Péraud France
    2/ Jan Bakelants Belgium
    3/ Romain Bardet France
    4/ Mikael Chérel France
    5/ Samuel Dumoulin France
    6/ Ben Gastauer Luxembourg
    7/ Sébastien Minard France
    8/ Johan van Summeren Belgium

    Lampre-Merida

    17/ Ruben Plaza Spain
    18/ Rafael Valls Spain

    FDJ

    Arnaud DémareIn the second French team, FDJ, the house sprinter and French Champion Arnaud Démare will probably have set the goal to win one or more of the stages. He will be surrounded on the roads of the Race to the sun by other riders who make up a completely French team.

    28/ Arthur Vichot France

    Movistar Team

    Gorka IzaguirreWith Gorka Izaguirre as its leader, the Movistar Team will be almost completely Spanish in this Paris-Nice :

    31/ Gorka Izaguirre Spain
    32/ Eros Capecchi Italy
    33/ Imanol Erviti Spain
    34/ Ruben Fernandez Spain
    35/ Beñat Intxausti Spain
    36/ Jon Izaguirre Spain
    37/ Dayer Quintana Colombia
    38/ José Joaquin Rojas Spain

    Astana Pro Team

    L'équipe AstanaFor the Astana Pro Team the participation in Paris-Nice 2015 seemed to be unsure when the UCI announced late February that after the audit by the Institut des Sciences du Sport de l'Université de Lausanne (ISSUL) on the team and its culture, its stratégie, its structures and its anti-doping management systems, the international federation asked the Licence Committee to withdraw the UCI WorldTeam licence which was rewarded in December under the condition to collaborate in this audit. Indeed this was meant to verify the correspondence between the strategy and the structure the team presented to the Licence Committee to get "saved by the bell" after the different doping cases in the team and its Continental counterpart team at the end of 2014 and the real situation in the team. The audit showed big differences between the theory and the reality and this made the UCI ask to withdraw the licence.

    However, for now there hasn't been any decision taken and the Kazakh team can thus continue to use the benefits of its UCI WorldTeam licence to participate in UCI WorldTour races.

    Fabio Aru, who really made himself a name in the Giro and the Vuelta last year, will be the leader of this multi-national team:

    41/ Fabio Aru Italy
    42/ Lars Boom The Netherlands
    43/ Borut Bozic Slovenia

    47/ Rein Taaramäe Estonia
    48/ Paolo Tiralongo Italy
