61st Paris-Nice - 2.HCFrance, March 9-16, 2003Main page Course map Start list Results Stage 6 - March 15: Toulon - Cannes, 194.5 kmComplete Live ReportStart time: 10:20 CET Welcome to Cyclingnews' coverage of the sixth and penultimate stage of Paris-Nice, a 194.5 kilometre long journey between Toulon and Cannes. Today's stage is a tough one, especially coming after yesterday's assault on Mont Faron. It contains six categorised climbs in all, and two intermediate sprints. The climbs are: Col de Taillude (Cat. 3, km 40), Côte de Taradeau (Cat. 2, km 88), Côte des Tuillières (Cat. 2, km 102), Col de Saint-Arnoux (Cat. 3, km 125), Col de Bourigaille (Cat. 1, km 137), and Col du Tanneron (Cat. 2, km 171). After the descent of the last climb, the riders will do a 12 km finishing lap around Cannes. The two intermediate sprints are at La Garde-Freinet (km 62) and Montauroux (km 156). The finishing sprint is in Cannes' Place Franklin Roosevelt. After an impressive and emotional performance in yesterday's fifth stage, the yellow jersey wearer going into today's leg is Kazakh Alexandre Vinokourov (Telekom), who is determined to win Paris-Nice for his departed friend, Andrei Kivilev. By the way he rode yesterday, it looks as though he will do it. In second place on GC is ONCE's Mikel Zarrabeitia at 42 seconds, followed by Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner) at 53 seconds. 14:19 CET - 136 km/58 km to go The peloton still contains some 60 riders, and Fabian Jeker (Milaneza) and Angel Castresana (ONCE) have attacked at the base of the Col de Bourigaille. 14:28 CET - 137 km/57 km to go Behind him there is a group of four riders, with Marcos Serrano (ONCE) and Fabian Jeker (Milaneza) catching Voigt and Joly. The peloton is some 20 seconds behind them. A recap of the earlier action: Hamilton attacked at 55 km, and passed the first intermediate sprint at km 62 with a 55 second lead on Richard Virenque (Quick.Step) and Claus Moller (Milaneza). Then a group of six chasers formed, with Sandy Casar (FDJ), Franck Vandenbroucke (Quick.Step), Andy Flickinger (Ag2r), Franck Renier (La Boulangere), Jens Voigt (CA), and Sebastien Joly (Jean Delatour). These six could not make any impression on Hamilton, who continued to increase his lead over the next 60 km. Voigt and Joly rode away from the others, and have now been caught by Jeker and Serrano. The Cofidis team, which was setting the pace on the climb, today lost David Moncoutie, who crashed and abandoned. Moncoutie was third atop Mont Faron yesterday. Also Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo) pulled out due to sickness, and Matthew Wilson (FDJeux.com), Jorg Ludewig and Giosuè Bonomi (Saeco) also abandoned. 14:37 CET - 144 km/50 km to go Cofidis is still leading the peloton on the descent. Vinokourov is in third position, and is looking good today. 14:43 CET - 148 km/46 km to go There are still two Cofidis riders on the front of the peloton, Cedric Vasseur and Nico Mattan. They want to try and get a stage win it seems, although they probably won't mind helping Vinokourov defend his jersey, even though he rides for Telekom. Interestingly, the majority of the riders (including Vinokourov) have helmets on today. It's a tricky and dangerous stage, and there seems to be a little more caution exhibited by the riders today. 14:49 CET - 153 km/41 km to go 14:54 CET - 156 km/38 km to go It doesn't work, as the peloton continues its relentless charge. A Credit Agricole rider closes the gap a new group forms at the front with Ronny Scholz (Gerolsteiner), Oscar Camenzind (Phonak), Rui Sousa (Milaneza), Joaquim Rodriguez (ONCE) and Benoit Poilvet (Credit Agricole). 15:00 CET - 160 km/34 km to go Nico Mattan is burying himself on the front of the peloton again to try and bring these riders back. Vinokourov needs it, as there are precious few Telekom jerseys lurking near the front. 15:05 CET - 164 km/30 km to go Marcos Serrano punctures at the bottom of the climb. 15:07 CET 15:10 CET - 167 km/27 km to go 15:12 CET - 168 km/26 km to go 15:14 CET - 169 km/25 km to go Sanchez catches Bolts, as Brochard goes off the front. Brochard catches Sanchez... 15:18 CET - 171 km/23 km to go On the descent, Chavanel and Sanchez attack the peloton, in pursuit of the leading nine. Chavanel gets some good support from the motorbike, and closes the gap. 15:21 CET - 174 km/20 km to go The chasing group contains: Jeker, Rodriguez, Lefevre, Perez, Van de Wouwer, Sousa, Bolts, Brochard, Chavanel, and Sanchez. They are split up a little on this descent though. 15:26 CET - 178 km/16 km to go 15:30 CET - 180 km/14 km to go The leaders: David Latasa (Kelme), Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel), Laurent Brochard (Ag2r), Sylvain Chavanel (La Boulangere) and Joaquim Rodriguez (ONCE). The peloton is at 32 seconds. Kim Kirchen (Fassa), Santi Perez (Phonak) and Rui Sousa (Milaneza) are in between at 15 seconds. 15:32 CET - 181 km/13 km to go 15:35 CET - 184 km/10 km to go In front Rodriguez isn't doing any work, as he is protecting the GC position of Zarrabeitia. That leaves Chavanel, Brochard, Sanchez and Latasa. The gap is down to 37 seconds now. 15:38 CET - 186 km/8 km to go 15:40 CET - 188 km/6 km to go 15:42 CET - 189 km/5 km to go 15:44 CET - 190 km/4 km to go 15:46 CET - 192 km/2 km to go Brochard attacks! But Chavanel gets on him and they slow down. 15:49 CET - 193 km/1 km to go 15:50 CET - 194 km/0 km to go Thanks for following the sixth stage with us. We'll be back at the earlier time of 14:00 CET for the final stage of Paris-Nice tomorrow.
