The first mountain stage of Paris-Nice has ended in a French victory, with Laurent Jalabert (CSC) taking the stage win and Didier Rous (Bonjour) gaining the leader's jersey. Jalabert and Rous, together with Aitor Osa (iBanesto.com) finished 10 seconds in front of a group of 47 riders in Saint-Etienne, after attacking on the descent of the final climb with 7 km to go.
Today's 147 kilometre stage contained two climbs each of category 1, 2 and 3. The parcours was a big loop starting and finishing in Saint-Etienne, with the main difficulties being the category 1 Col de l'Oeillon (km 90.5) and the final category 1 climb of Col de la Croix-de-Chaubouret (km 139).
The first serious breakaway came before the Col de l'Oeillon, when a group of five riders escaped: Martin Hvastija (Alessio), Cyril Dessel (Jean Delatour), Unai Etxebarria (Euskaltel), Christophe Mengin (FdJ) and Serguei Yakovlev (Telekom). Hvastija attacked the break on the climb as the others were absorbed by the fragmenting peloton, which had lost race leader Alessandro Petacchi.

A small group containing Laszlo Bodrogi (Mapei), Richard Virenque (Domo), Fabrice Gougot (Phonak) and Mickaël Pichon (Bonjour) caught Hvastija at the top of the cat. 2 Col du Planil (km 113), but were being chased hard by the peloton, with Alex Zülle's (Team Coast) and Dario Frigo (Tacconi) particularly active.
On the final climb of the Col de la Croix-de-Chaubouret, the leaders were caught by the hard-charging peloton, which still numbered 50 riders. It was on the descent into Saint-Etienne with 7 km to go that Laurent Jalabert made his move. Only Aitor Osa and then Didier Rous could follow, and the trio extended their lead to a handy 10 seconds.
Jalabert won the sprint from Rous and Osa, but Rous claimed the overall lead with JaJa sitting in second place just 2 seconds behind.
"I was not the strongest on the climbs," said Jalabert, who realised that the main thing was to cross the line first. "I knew the last km on the descent had a lot of bends and since I love that exercise, I didn't hold back."
"I was aiming at winning the stage. When I saw Didier coming up I realised it would be like that to the end and we collaborated well."

Didier Rous was more concerned with the leader's jersey: "In the sprint, I was thinking of taking time out of all the others. The Banesto rider did not roll through, as is normal. I had to lead out the sprint."
"And now, I don't know. If this was May, I would be more confident to hold the jersey. This is a little early. Mont Faron? I have finished ninth there once. Now, anything is possible. If I don't believe in it, I will never be able to finish there. I will fight."
Tomorrow's fourth stage from Pertuis to Toulon (Mont Faron) has no big climbs save for the final tough ascent to Mont Faron, the scene of Michele Bartoli's sodden triumph in the Tour of the Med earlier this season.
