Stage 5 - March 14: Aix-en-Provence - Toulon (Mont Faron), 152.5 km
Emotional Vinokourov does it for Kivilev
Frigo bows out with stomach problems
By Jeff Jones

With a super-charged attack with 1.5 kilometres to go to the summit of Mont Faron in today's fifth stage, Kazakh Alexandre Vinokourov took an even firmer grip on Paris-Nice, a race that he has vowed to win in memory of his departed friend, Andrei Kivilev. Vino crossed the line to win in emotional triumph, pointing to the sky in the same manner as Lance Armstrong did when he won stages of the Tour de France for his deceased teammate Fabio Casartelli.
Shaking with emotion after the finish, Vinokourov said that "Most of all, [it's a victory for] for Andrei Kivilev. He wanted to win on Mont Faron and also Paris-Nice. I really gave everything for this victory, and today was a coup double, for him and for his family."
" I found the strength to continue the race, only for him, for his family, for his little boy. I'm satisfied today for myself and for them. I'm going to do everything to keep the jersey, and for that I found a double strength, myself and his strength as well. It's fantastic, and I'm very happy. For sure it's a victory for him, and I hope to keep the jersey until Nice."

With a 42 second lead on the general classification to ONCE's Mikel Zarrabeitia (9th today), Vinokourov should be able to realise his goal when the race finishes on Sunday. His mission was helped by the fact that overnight leader Dario Frigo (Fassa Bortolo) withdrew from the race today, after suffering from stomach problems and diarrhoea last night. It was a surprise exit for the Fassa Bortolo rider, who won the time trial yesterday and looked to be very secure in yellow.
Notable performers today include Gilberto Simoni (Saeco), who showed good climbing legs to almost close the gap to Vinokourov and finish second, just in front of David Moncoutie (Cofidis), who lost too much time earlier in the race to be a GC contender. Also Frank Vandenbroucke (Quick.Step) and Laurent Brochard (Ag2r) had strong, attacking rides today.
How it unfolded
 |
The fifth stage from Aix-en-Provence to Toulon (Mont Faron) was the only mountaintop finish in this year's Paris-Nice, concluding with the steep (~8%), narrow 5.6 km ascent of Mont Faron itself. The riders knew this would be a critical stage, and any small gains made in yesterday's time trial could easily be lost today. After Frigo's withdrawal, 149 riders started the stage in beautiful sunny conditions.
An attack by Santi Perez (Phonak) and Frank Vandenbroucke (Quick.Step) 25 km after the start set the mood for things to happen. The pair rode hard throughout the stage, reaching a maximum lead of 3'40 before being pulled back by the peloton. With VDB lying only 2 minutes behind Vinokourov on GC, the Telekom team couldn't allow him to go too far in front.
The Telekom team combined with Cofidis and and Fassa Bortolo to reduce the gap, and pulled back VDB and Perez with 20 km to go. Immediately the counter attacks started, with Phonak's Alexandre Moos going clear on the Cat. 2 climb of Ste. Anne Evanos, taking Laurent Brochard (Ag2r), Sandy Casar (FDJeux.com) and Rui Sousa (Milaneza) with him. The quartet gained some 20 seconds on the peloton as it raced past Toulon and up to the foot of Mont Faron, with Axel Merckx (Lotto-Domo) doing a lot of chasing work in the bunch.
Once they hit the climb it was a sprint to the top, with Sousa accelerating near the bottom to distance the others. However Brochard and Casar kept their heads, and pulled back Sousa after a kilometre, with Brochard launching his own counter attack in a bid for the stage win. The Ag2r rider found a good rhythm on the narrow hairpins of Mont Faron, although Casar refused to give in and kept coming back to Brochard's wheel.

Holding a 25 second lead with 3 km to go, a Brochard win was starting to look possible, but the disintegrating peloton behind him had other ideas. Attacks by Oscar Camenzind (Phonak), Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel) and others reduced the gap to 12 seconds with 2 km to go, and Brochard's chances looked slim. Then the green-clad figure of Alexandre Vinokourov burst out of the front of the pack, powering past Casar and then Brochard in an inspired move to try and win the stage.
Vinokourov was unstoppable today, as he raged up the mountain with one goal in mind: to win for Andrei Kivilev. He looked around several times, but no-one had got his wheel. Behind him Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner) and Carlos Sastre (CSC) mounted a chase, but could not get closer than 50 metres. They were caught by Gilberto Simoni (Saeco) and David Moncoutie (Cofidis) inside the final 500m, and came to the top 7 seconds behind the flying Kazakh.
Vino crossed the line with an emotional gesture to the sky, a tribute to his fallen friend, Andrei Kivilev. He thus repeated his stage win of 2002, where incidentally Kivilev took third, and looks set to hold onto yellow in the final two stages.
Tomorrow's sixth stage from Toulon to Cannes is no easy stroll. The longest stage in the race at 195 kilometres contains two Cat. 3, three Cat. 2 and one Cat. 1 climbs. The highest point is the 702m Col du Bourigaille at km 137, and this is followed by the 370m Col du Tanneron at km 171. The riders descend into Cannes after this climb and do a 12.5 kilometre flat finishing circuit.
