Stage 7 of Paris-Nice faces dramatic changes due to severe weather. Heavy snowfall forces organizers to scrap the planned summit finish at Auron. Instead, the race ends at Isola after a shortened 27km route. The original climbs, Côte de Carros and Côte de Bouyon, are also removed from the itinerary.
Riders will start at Louis Nucéra bridge in Le Broc and ascend from 200m to 800m above sea level, making for a challenging uphill finish. The new start time is set for 12:45 GMT (13:45 local).
Conditions remain precarious, raising questions about racing dynamics in the peloton. Race leader Jonas Vingegaard prepares to navigate these unpredictable elements as the weather continues to affect strategies. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving situation.
