Telekom's Alexandre Vinokourov did what he couldn't last year, winning a stage in Paris-Nice. The 28 year old Kazakh was the strongest in today's final dash up Mont Faron, beating Laurent Jalabert (CSC) and Andrei Kivilev (Cofidis). In doing so, Vinokourov took over the yellow and white leader's jersey from Didier Rous, who finished 8th today. Jalabert still holds onto second overall.

Today's 175 kilometre leg between Pertuis and Toulon was peppered with small climbs, culminating in the category 1 ascent to Mont Faron at the finish. Within a few kilometres, a group of 15 riders escaped and this set the scene for a tough day of racing. The peloton split into two groups chasing the leaders, with Laurent Jalabert and Didier Rous part of the first group. The gap between the front two groups was only a minute, but the main peloton gradually began to lose time despite the efforts of Mapei and Fassa Bortolo.

Spanish rider Felix Garcia-Casas (BigMat) escaped on the Col du Corps-de-Garde with 16 km to go, and had a 30 second lead on the Jalabert/Rous group over the top. The peloton crossed at 3'10 to Garcia Casas and the race was certainly over for them.

Bonjour's Sylvain Chavanel rode for his teammate Rous to close the gap to Garcia Casas, which he did so before Mont Faron. But when Laurent Jalabert attacked at the bottom of the climb, Rous had no answer. The two Kazakhs Kivilev and Vinokourov went with Jalabert, followed by Casar and Voigt. When the latter two made the bridge, Vinokourov put in a powerful attack that no-one could match, and stayed away to win the stage by 28 seconds.

Rous lost 1'08 and slipped down to third overall, as Vinokourov pulled on the yellow and white leader's jersey.

"I had good legs, I could follow when the attack went with 80-90 kilometres to go. I am very satisfied," said Vinokourov. "Jalabert? Perhaps he wasn't quite as good today. But there are still several difficult stages left. For my part, I recover well."

Laurent Jalabert was similarly pleased. "The outcome is very positive for me," he said. "I succeeded in trapping some of the favourites. Bonjour rode a great stage, I take my hat off to them. I had to work to increase the gap. If we were to arrive in a group at the bottom of Mont Faron, I would not have finished second at the top. I am sitting well in the general classification. It augurs well."

Tomorrow's stage from Toulon to Cannes will not be easy either, with six categorised climbs. The key stage in Paris-Nice will be on Saturday, when the race finishes atop the Col d'Eze.
