The eight-day stage race Paris-Nice is happening this week, and, while there are many guides for La Course au Soleil, we’ve turned to Café du Cycliste’s photo essay since the race ends in their backyard. The cycling apparel brand knows the Maritime Alps about as well as anyone, and their short essay reminds us of the beauty and the challenges of this early-season test. Check out their race preview here.

We had to scroll very far to get back all of the hot takes on THAT Visma TT helmet. We’d rather be scrolling through this gallery of photos from Strade Bianche (editor’s note: we repeatedly misspelled Strade in our last digest. Sorry). About Strade: Tadej Pogačar called his shot—and he attacked with 81km to go. Do you ride hookless rims?
