The 2008 Paris–Nice was the 66th edition of the Paris–Nice cycle race and was held from 9 March to 16 March 2008. The race started in Amilly and finished in Nice . The race was won by Italian Davide Rebellin from Template:Cycling data GST , who finished second last year. The race started in Amilly and ended in Nice . The 2008 edition returned to the fabled climb of Mont Ventoux , with stage four finishing at the mountain's ski facility, Mont Serein . The Mont Ventoux stage saw a winning break by Cadel Evans and Robert Gesink . Evans took the stage victory as Gesink moved into the overall lead. However, Gesink could not hold on to the lead in stage six when Rebellin attacked on the final descent and took enough time to move into the overall lead.
The event was marked by controversy before the race regarding the ongoing power struggle between ASO and UCI , excluding the race from the UCI ProTour calendar. The race organisers also decided to exclude Template:Cycling data AST , the team of the 2007 edition winner Alberto Contador , due to "damage caused by the team during the 2007 Tour de France ". [ 1]
