A cycling race from frost to palm trees, this is the untold story of the celebrated Paris-Nice where the world's greatest riders are made

The annual Paris-Nice race - aka the Race to the Sun - takes frostbitten riders from the chill of the Paris suburbs to the palm tree-fringed balm of the Côte d'Azur in a matter of days, via time trials, mountain stages and the Massif Central.

Bestselling cycling journalist Nige Tassell investigates the particular significance of 14 iconic races in colourful detail with in-depth portraits of each race's winner. From Eddy Merckx's maiden win in 1969 and Laurent Jalabert's hat-trick-sealing triumph in 1997 to Tadej Pogacar's final-day win in 2023, this book is the ultimate celebration of the race's near-100-year existence.

Featuring new and exclusive interviews with Paris-Nice legends like Sean Kelly, Joop Zoetemelk and Sir Bradley Wiggins, as well as despatches from the road from 2026, where Tassell witnesses, from the closest of quarters, a truly historic edition of the race.
