Шаблон:Infobox cycling race report
The 2008 Paris–Nice, the 66th running of the race, took place from March 9 to March 16, 2008, and was won by Italian Davide Rebellin from Шаблон:Ct, 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 Шаблон:Ct, the team of the 2007 edition winner Alberto Contador, due to "damage caused by the team during the 2007 Tour de France".[1]
