Competitors in the Paris-Nice live streams are rolling on until Sunday. In the world of cycling, there are few bigger events than the UCI World Tour, a series of races and road cycling events that attempt to put the best cyclists in the world on the road to compete for supremacy.

And one of the most exciting UCI World Tour events is the stage race between Paris and Nice. The event, which is happening now and will continue through March 15, is the 78th edition of the race. And with eight stages and a distance of 767.8 miles, it's one of the longest and most arduous cycling experiences of the year.

Overall, there are 17 teams competing in this year's race, including a dozen UCI World Tour teams and five UCI Professional Continental teams. Interestingly, there were more teams scheduled to participate in the race, but some pulled out over COVID-19 fears.

Still, the teams that are competing are proving extremely competitive so far. And now that Germany's Maximilian Schachmann won the first stage, Giacomo Nizzolo from Italy took the second stage, and Ivan Garcia from Spain took the third stage, it's anyone's race to win.

So, if you're interested in catching the 2020 Paris-Nice cycling competition and want to see which team will ultimately win, read on for our guide to how to get a Paris-Nice live stream and see every last minute of action.
