Mercury-Viatel has won the final stage in the 68th Paris-Nice, with Italian Fabrizio Guidi managing to outsprint German Danilo Hondo (Telekom) and Australian Stuart O'Grady (Credit Agricole) as the race finished in Nice. The Italians also celebrated the overall win, as Dario Frigo (Fassa Bortolo) held on to his white leader's jersey from teammate Raimondas Rumsas.

The final 157.1 km stage started and finished in Nice, and was a reflection on the rest of the week. A breakaway containing three riders, Stéphane Bergès (Ag2r), Francisco Mancebo (iBanesto) and Alberto Martinez (Euskaltel) escaped in the first few kilometres, with the two Spaniards managing to stay away on the Gourdon Pass, the day's second and last climb.

However, the peloton caught them as they entered Nice for the first of 7 laps on the "Promenade des Anglais." A group of six (Christophe Oriol, Torsten Scmidt, Nicolas Jalabert, Christophe Agnolutto, Lukas Zumsteg and Pascal Chanteur) tried to attack, but without success and the bunch prepared for a massive sprint.

Finally, the Italian Fabrizio Guidi (Mercury Viatel) got the upper hand on Hondo and O'Grady, to notch up Mercury's third stage win in Paris-Nice. However, Danilo Hondo picked up enough points to overtake Peter Van Petegem for the points jersey, whilte Piotr Wadecki (Domo) held onto his mountains jersey.

The overall winner was Dario Frigo (Fassa Bortolo) who won with panache in front of his Lithuanian teammate Raimondas Rumsas, with Peter Van Petegem taking a fighting third place.

A little anecdote: On the podium, Dario Frigo tried desperately to open his bottle of Champagne, without sucess. Luckily his teammate Raimondas Rumsas came to his rescue armed with a corkscrew, and everything was back to normal.
