Stage 6 - March 10: Sisteron - Villeneuve-Loubet, 196,2 km

Live Report

15.00 - Welcome to the sixth stage of Paris - Nice. Today's stage has a number of hills to pass, the highest is Col des Leques at 1148 metres on the road from Sisteron to Villeneuve-Loubet, 196.2 kms. Yesterday we saw Telekom's Alexander Vinokourov desperately trying to reduce some of those 60 seconds that separates him from leading Laurent Brochard but without success. Brochard and his team mates in the new French team, Jean Delatour, effectively held the field together.

15.20 - 66 kms to go. Three riders are in the lead with a gap of around two and a half minutes. They are Lauri Aus (Ag2R), who attacked at 70 kms alone and was joined by Paolo Fornaciari (Mapei) and Thierry Marichal (Lotto) at 110 kms. Noco Mattan has attacked from the peloton trying to bridge.

15.30 - 55 kms to go: Comesso (Saeco) is attacking from the peloton with Bäckstedt (CA) and Deramé (Bonjour) with the only result that the peloton rises the tempo somewhat with Jean Delatour working, as they have done every day. Mattan still between the leading trio and the peloton.

15.45 - 42 kms to go: None of the three leader are less than 15 minutes behind the leader so there is no reason to panic from Jean Delatour's riders who might need all their strength later on. There are still a couple of climbs left. Memorycard is at the front of the peloton, now 1.35 behind the leaders and Mattan is caught. And so are the leaders, first Aus than the other two with 42 kms to go.

15.55 - Vinokourov attacks when the peloton is assembled in this fairly light climb up to the Col de Gourdon, the last mountain prize today. He has 13 seconds for the moment. Two of Brochard's team mates drives the peloton, it's Bouvard and Bessy, and maybe there aren't so many helpers left for Brochard. The peloton is thinning. Casacrande, Kiviliev, Klöden and Rittsel are seen up front letting the two Frenchmen do the job and the gap shrinks. Vino caught any moment now.

16.05 - 30 kms to go. Vino was caught before the top. Casagrande went to the front to take also this mountain prize and secure the white and orange KOM jersey. After the top Kelme's Pascual Rodriguez attacks. He is eighth overall, 23 seconds behind leading Brochard. Axel Merckx (Mapei) is, for some reason, driving the peloton ahead of Virenque (Polti). Andreu is also placed high with Figueras, Mapei's sprinter.

16.18 - 19 kms to go. The Spaniard keeps going in the days last climb when Brochard suddenly attacks in the peloton. Nor for long but enough to scare the other, and then comes another attack from Brochard when Casagrande comes and Vinokourov. Rodriguez ha17 seconds when overall second Klöden comes up.

16.25 - 15 kms to go. Rodriguez caught with 17 kms left of the stage. Small gaps in the peloton. Brochard has to close the gaps himself. Bouvard is helping out. A Lotto roder, looks like Verheyen has got a little gap when it flattens.

16.35 - Lots of small attacks approaching the finish, but it seems like it's going to be a bunch sprint and Figueras is the only sprinter we've seen in the peloton the last ten minutes. With 2,5 kilometres to go Vinokourov attacks one more time but Merckx covers.

16.29 - 1 km to go: Under the banner Fassa Bortolo drives. Petacchi and Simon raises hands over the line. It's a photo finish.

16.45 - Finish. Simon won by three inches, taking Bonjour's second victory ever. Then comes Tchmil, Hincapie, McGee, Commesso, Aerts and Brochard. The bonus seconds picks up Simon to second overall, otherwise no major changes. Julich comes in behind though. Simon also takes the points jersey.
