Nardello wins again

Italian Daniele Nardello (Mapei) won the Tour du Haut-Var for the second time in succession. The 33rd edition of the 180 kilometre race ended with four riders with a chance of victory, but Nardello managed to outsprint Nicolay-Bo Larsen (CSC), Davide Rebellin (Liquigas) and Mario Aerts (Lotto). Gianluca Bortolami led another small group home for 5th place.

After just a few kilometres, a 22 rider group escaped that included Nicolay Bo Larsen, Fabrice Salanson and Sandy Casar, but later an eight rider group containing Max Sciandri (Lampre), Axel Merckx (Domo), Mathias Kessler (Telekom), Alexandre Vinokourov (Telekom), Bortolami, Rebellin, Aerts, and Nardello escaped for good.

These eight had one minute's advantage by the côte Ampus with 50 kilometres to go, before Nicolay Bo Larsen managed to bridge with 20 kilometres left. He attacked with Nardello, but they were caught in Draguignan by Aerts and Rebellin, and Nardello took the sprint.

Salanson therefore becomes the leader in the first round of the Coupe de France, as he was the first French rider, or rider in a French team, to finish.
