The 2018 Paris–Nice was a road cycling stage race that took place between 4 and 11 March 2018 in France. It was the 76th edition of the Paris–Nice and the sixth event of the 2018 UCI World Tour.{{Cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uci-announces-2018-road-calendar/ |title=UCI announces 2018 road calendar |access-date=20 October 2017 |work=Cycling News}}{{Cite web |url=http://www.velon.cc/en/news/2017/09/uci-confirm-worldtour-calendar-for-2018 |title=2018 UCI WorldTour calendar unveiled |access-date=20 October 2016 |work=Velon |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170925133030/http://www.velon.cc/en/news/2017/09/uci-confirm-worldtour-calendar-for-2018 |archive-date=25 September 2017 |url-status=dead }}

The race was won on the final day by the {{UCI team code|MOV|2018}}'s Marc Soler from Spain.{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/marc-soler-grabs-paris-nice-title-four-seconds-simon-yates-final-stage-372464|title=Marc Soler grabs Paris-Nice title by four seconds from Simon Yates on final stage|first=Richard|last=Windsor|work=Cycling Weekly|publisher=Time Inc. UK|date=11 March 2018|access-date=11 March 2018}} Having started the final stage 37 seconds down on race leader Simon Yates ({{UCI team code|MTS men|2018}}) in sixth place overall, Soler attacked around halfway into the stage along with compatriot David de la Cruz ({{UCI team code|SKY|2018}}); the duo joined Omar Fraile ({{UCI team code|AST|2018}}) at the head of the race, and the trio managed to stay clear of the rest of the field by the time they reached Nice. As de la Cruz and Fraile contested stage honours, Soler finished third – acquiring four bonus seconds on the finish in addition to three gained at an earlier intermediate sprint – and with a 35-second gap to Yates and the remaining general classification contenders, it was enough to give Soler victory over Yates by four seconds. The podium was completed by {{UCI team code|TBM|2018}}'s Gorka Izagirre, moving ahead of teammate and brother Ion Izagirre due to bonus seconds won on the final day, 14 seconds behind Soler, who also won the white jersey as best young rider.

{{UCI team code|LTS|2018}} won the two other jerseys on offer in the race; Tim Wellens won the green jersey for the points classification, taking five top-ten finishes over the course of the week, while Thomas De Gendt was the winner of the mountains classification. With the performances of the Izagirre brothers, {{UCI team code|TBM|2018|nolink=yes}} were the winners of the teams classification.

Teams

Classification leadership table

In the 2018 Paris–Nice, four jerseys were awarded. The general classification was calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses were awarded to the first three finishers on all stages except for the individual time trial: the stage winner won a ten-second bonus, with six and four seconds for the second and third riders respectively. Bonus seconds were also awarded to the first three riders at intermediate sprints – three seconds for the winner of the sprint, two seconds for the rider in second and one second for the rider in third. The leader of the general classification received a yellow jersey.{{cite web|url=http://netstorage.lequipe.fr/ASO/cycling_pnc/rules-2018.pdf|title=2018 Paris–Nice: Regulations|work=Paris–Nice|publisher=Amaury Sport Organisation|access-date=2 March 2018}} This classification was considered the most important of the 2018 Paris–Nice, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race.

The second classification was the points classification. Riders were awarded points for finishing in the top ten in a stage. Unlike in the points classification in the Tour de France, the winners of all stages were awarded the same number of points. Points were also won in intermediate sprints; three points for crossing the sprint line first, two points for second place, and one for third. The leader of the points classification was awarded a green jersey.

There was also a mountains classification, for which points were awarded for reaching the top of a climb before other riders. Each climb was categorised as either first, second, or third-category, with more points available for the more difficult, higher-categorised climbs. For first-category climbs, the top seven riders earned points; on second-category climbs, five riders won points; on third-category climbs, only the top three riders earned points. The leadership of the mountains classification was marked by a white jersey with red polka-dots.

The fourth jersey represented the young rider classification, marked by a white jersey. Only riders born after 1 January 1993 were eligible; the young rider best placed in the general classification was the leader of the young rider classification. There was also a classification for teams, in which the times of the best three cyclists in a team on each stage were added together; the leading team at the end of the race was the team with the lowest cumulative time.
