32nd Tour du Haut Var - Cat. 1.2France, February 19, 20001999 Results Results Start list Past winners PreviewThe 32nd edition of the Tour du Haut Var will see nearly 200 riders compete from 28 teams in the first of two French one day races on the weekend. Favourite for this will be the in form Jaan Kirsipuu (Ag2R), who has had success in several of the early French races this year. The principal difficulty of the Tour du Haut-Var comes at the 81 kms mark with the côte de Mons, a climb of 9 kms to a height of 814 metres. The côte des Tuilières which comes after 157 kms and the côte de Saint-Andrieux, only 14 kms from the finish are also challenges which will help determine the final outcome. ReportDaniele Nardello (Ita, Mapei) has really had a great start of the season. Three days ago he won the Italian Trofeo Laigueglia and today the 32nd Tour du Haut-Var at Draguignan by beating Kazakh Andreï Kivilev (AG2R) in a two up sprint. The race started fast with 43 kilometers covered in the first hour. Some early attacks by Jens Voigt (Crédit Agricole), Rinaldo Nocentini (Mapei) and Oscar Camenzind (Lampre) were neutralized. At the summit of Montauroux, Nardello and ex-World Champion Camenzind attacked making 2.43 to the peloton by the time they started to climb the col de Mons 100 kms from the finish. However, they were finally joined by a large group of riders, and at 60 kms to go the peloton had 27 riders. Last year's winner Davide Rebellin (Liquigas-Pata) tried a solo break at 40 kms to go but was caught at Aups at 172 kms. Nardello and Kvilev finally got away to build a one minute gap and Nardello could outsprint the Khazakh. Rebellin was third in a four rider group containing also Axel Merckx.
