Stage 7 - March 11: Nice Col d'Eze, Mountain ITT, 10 km

Live Report

Welcome to the seventh, and penultimate, stage of Paris - Nice. It is a mountain time trail up the renowned Col d'Eze that will settle the whole race. Tomorrows finishing stage is more of a parade.

Mountain ITT:s are not to common. It's not easy to give hints before the race, but let's entertain ourselves with some facts and some more speculations:

Laurent Brochard (Jean Delatour), France, has a six seconds lead on compatriot and French champion Francois Simon (Bonjour). The young German Andreas Klöden (Telekom) as third is ten seconds behind. He once won a mountain ITT as amateur. This is of course something different, but still, he is familiar with this special type of event. Because this is not like an ordinary climb where you attack when it's most favourable, where you can rest behind others at times. Here you just go on and on all the way at an even tempo.

The time gaps among the riders comes from the flat first ITT stage in Paris, and in some cases from bonus seconds for top three placements on the following stages. Brochard's team has been able to keep the field together on all stages. Now it's up to Brochard himself to finish the work, and he is a reasonably good climber, he even attacked on one of the climbs yesterday. Klöden also seems all right. Behind him we have American Andreu at 12 seconds, Spaniard Mancebo at 13, and Spaniards usually are good climbers and then there is Rittsel of Sweden, good at time trials, less known as a climber but he has managed to hang on all the way from Paris. He is 17 seconds behind, on seventh place a known climber, Javier Pascual Rodriguez from Spain and Kelme 22 seconds behind. Watch out for him.

The race is on. Francesco Casagrande, who came behind on one of the stages is leading, he is also King of the Mountains in the race and wants to stay so of course. Alex Vinokourov is now under way, he is one minute behind. We will try to give you intermediate times for the top contenders at around half ways up the hill.

Vinokourov passes at 12.16 best so far, better than Casagrande halfways. Bell gets the best finishing time at 20.33.

Merckx gets 21.50, not enough. Vaughters, 49 secs behind has just started

Frigo gets a good time: 20.31 best so far.

Vinokourov gets 20.35, enough to loose to Frigo overall.Hamburger more than one minute after Vinokourov at the intermediate. He is supposed to be a good climber.

Hamburger more than one minute after Vinokourov at the intermediate. He is supposed to be a good climber. Nuermann passas at 12.31, thats better. Kiviliev comes in at 20.58 and Tchmil only 22.35.

Garmendia, Banesto comes in at 20.45 to late for Frigo and "Vino"

Vaughters 12.22 at the intermediate, a good time only seven after Vino.

Finish: Niermann at a good 20.43, Hamburger disappointing 22.35, this means that Frigo is still overall best and at least 16th, when Brozyna approaches: 20.44, he's one second after Frigo overall.

Some intermediates: Hincapie has lost more than a ,minute, Bouvard half a minute and Hundertmarck 55 seconds at intermediate.

Vaughters comes in, takes the lead on the stage!! 20.29.

Aerts is 47 sec after Vino at the intermediate.

Brochard starts as the last man up the hill. He starts fast at higher gears than Simon two minutes before him.

Klöden passes 3 kms at 6.28, five seconds ahead of Vinokourov, he is a good ITT rider. But its still relatively flat…

Simon is 23 seconds behind Klöden at 3 kms!

Brochard has lost eight seconds to Klöden at 3 kms!

Klöden 12.03 at midway! By far best here!

For the record: Klöden is ten seconds behind Brochard overall.

Simon has lost 40 secs midway.

Brochard rides on higher gears but he has lost 14 seconds midway (actually 6 kms) and Klöden does not show any signs of tiring.

Klöden rides elegantly up the hill, Brichard stands up, sits down, body pumping. Two completely different styles.

Andreu comes in at 21.21, 51 sec behind Vaughters.

Klöden comes at a winning time: 20.06!!! A massacre!

Brochard rides on heavy gears now but it looks dark but the final kilometres are a little less uphill.

Simon has lost a lot. Comes in at 21.03. Brochard at last kilometre now.

It going to be even!! Brochard comes in at 20.23. 17 more than Klöden. He is second on the stage and overall, It's a seven seconds lead for Klöden overall.

A seven seconds lead means that the 10 seconds bonus for a stage win tomorrow could be enough for Brochard. Question is if he has the team to help him. He does have sprinting abilities, no question about that. Tomorrows parade to Promenade des Anglais in Nice might be more than just a nice show. It might be a race for the overall win.
