59th Paris-Nice - 2.HCFrance, March 11-18, 2001Main page Course Profile Results Previous stage Next stage Stage 5 - March 16: Berre l'Etang - Saint-Raphaël, 240.3 kmPolish champion wins longest stageBy Séverine Cottin, cyclingnews.com correspondent Polish road and time trial champion, Piotr Wadecki has won his first race in the Domo-Farm Frites jersey, the 240.3 kilometre stage 5 in Paris-Nice. Wadecki outsprinted breakaway companion Matteo Tosatto (Fassa Bortolo), with Bonjour's François Simon coming in solo for third. The main peloton finished 1'10 behind the winner, and Peter Van Petegem kept his white jersey for another day. After some sunshine yesterday, it was back to the grey, cold sky in this 68th Paris-Nice. For the longest stage of the edition, many riders were hoping for a few kilometers' rest. However, the usual suspects including Jacky Durand (FdJ) and Christophe Agnolutto (Ag2r) launched attacks at the start of the stage. A group of 27 men tried to go clear, but the presence of Jorg Jaksche (ONCE), second on GC at 0'11, forced Mercury-Viatel to chase them down. A few kilometres later (km 55), three men obtained an exit ticket, François Simon (Bonjour), Piotr Wadecki (Domo) and Matteo Tosatto (Fassa Bortolo). They quickly found a rhythm and gained a maximum of 13 minutes on the bunch, as the peloton slowed down. The trio covered all of the day's difficulties at the front of the race. Behind them, the peloton were spurred on by the ONCE team, who managed to narrow the gap to 1'10 at the finish, but could not close it completely, With five kilometers to go - after being away for over 180 km - Tosatto and Wadecki left François Simon behind on a false flat. In the two man sprint that followed, Polish champ Piotr Wadecki was the strongest. He also took the mountains jersey in the process. In the general classification Peter Van Petegem (Mercury) kept his leader's jersey and the points jersey tomorrow's tough Col d'Eze time trial. Peter Van Petegem has only 0'11 on Jorg Jaksche (ONCE) and 0'15 on Raimondas Rumsas (Fassa Bortolo), both good time trialists. British TT specialist, David Millar (Cofidis) gave up today on the Saint Arnoux Pass, and will not contest the stage. We will probably know the winner of the 68th Paris-Nice by tomorrow evening.
