Italian Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo) has won the fifth stage of Paris-Nice, 185.5 km between Toulon and Cannes in a bunch sprint after an extremely lively stage. Petacchi recorded his second stage win of the race beating home Kelme's Angel Vicioso and Cofidis' Nico Mattan. The yellow and white leader's jersey remains on Alexander Vinokourov's shoulders.
Today's stage contained plenty of climbs, and a bunch sprint was not a foregone conclusion. The attacks started right from the beginning, and by the Col de Taillude (km 43) a group of eight riders had escaped. Axel Merckx and Richard Virenque (Domo), Serge Baguet (Lotto), Laszlo Bodrogi (Mapei), Kim Kirchen (Fassa Bortolo), Paolo Bossoni (Tacconi), Christophe Oriol (Ag2R) and Inigo Cuesta (Cofidis) worked hard to hold off the peloton, led by Alexandre Vinokourov and Laurent Jalabert's Telekom and CSC teams.
Axel Merckx was having a good day, riding with Kim Kirchen ahead of the rest to take most of the climbing points on offer. The pair were caught on the final climb of the day, the Col du Tanneron (km 174) when a group containing Jo Planckaert (Cofidis) attacked.
Planckaert caught and passed Merckx and continued on in his bid for a solo victory in Cannes, chased all the way by the 60 rider peloton. The Belgian was caught shortly before the finish, as Petacchi wound up his fearsome sprint to win the stage with most of his rivals not in contention.

"I did not think of winning here, such a hard stage with so many climbs," said Petacchi. "I felt better going into the final climb. I certainly had my best day since the start, much better than the stage to Toulon."
"I gave myself virtually no chance at the victory and I didn't have the ideal gear for the sprint. For this reason, I waited until the final 150 metres before putting my big effort in. To win on this type of course, that shows that I am not a sprinter."
For his efforts, Merckx earned the Mountains and Most Aggressive Rider jerseys, while Jalabert just keeps the points jersey. Coming into tomorrow's final challenging stage from Saint-Raphaël to Col d'Eze, Alexandre Vinokourov holds a 5 second lead over Laurent Jalabert, with Didier Rous in third place at 49 seconds.
"I am happy to keep this jersey," said Vinokourov. "I did everything for that. We will know the name of the winner on the Col d'Eze. I know the parcours well, since I live near there. I will not let Jalabert attack, I will glue myself to his wheel. I am ready for the fight."
