Adverse weather conditions and heavy snowfall have forced organisers of Paris-Nice<\/a> to alter and shorten the queen stage 7<\/a> on Saturday. The route’s distance has been shortened by 18km to just 120.4km, and the finish line has been moved away from the mountaintop finish in Auron to Isola to ensure rider safety.<\/p>\n

“The organisers of Paris-Nice have been closely monitoring the weather conditions in the Alpes-Maritimes department throughout the week. The latest forecasts make an arrival in the Auron resort inconceivable, with the rain-snow line estimated to be around 1,100 metres altitude,” race organisers confirmed on Friday evening before stage 7 set to start in Nice on Saturday.<\/p>\n
