1. Cycling – Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico: The sprinters will have to hang on

After a busy day on Monday, Paris-Nice is heading south again between Vierzon and Dun-le-Palestel (190 km). If the first hundred kilometers of the stage will be flat, the rest will be more difficult and a breakaway could well go to the end. Unless strong sprinters are vying for victory on the hill finish. In Italy, the 2nd stage connects Camaiore to Sovicille (219 km) on a difficult course. Here too the sprinters can have the last word but victory is not guaranteed to them. All this is obviously to be followed on Eurosport.

2. Football – Champions League: Bayern must finish the job

The other match of the evening, between Liverpool and Inter Milan, seems played after the success of the Reds in Italy (2-0).
