Continuing the strong showing for French riders in the race, national champion Nacer Bouhanni was quickest at the end of stage one of Paris-Nice, powering home ahead of Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre Merida), Elia Viviani (Cannondale Pro Cycling) and Jens Debusshere (Lotto Belisol).
The victorious FDJ rider grabbed the wheel of Sylvain Chavanel (Omega Pharma Quick Step), who was second in yesterday’s prologue, then came around him, went shoulder to shoulder with Alessandro Petacchi and then pulled clear.
Australian rider Mark Renshaw was a bike length back and ended sandwiched between the two, being forced to lead off as Bouhanni and Petacchi drew closer to each other. Viviani saw a gap on the left hand side and jetted forward, but while he covered the final fifty metres faster than Bouhanni and Petacchi, he ran out of time.
Bouhanni’s victory moved him ahead of yesterday’s prologue winner Damien Gaudin (Europcar) and into yellow, although the difference between the two is a matter of milliseconds only. Chavanel is a second further back in third, and must be regarded as a threat in the days ahead.
“I was really happy to win the last stage of Oman. I didn’t quite know how I felt but the team worked really well today and I’m very happy,” the day’s winner said after receiving his Maillot Jaune.
“Jeremy Roy did a fantastic job, bringing back the breakaway riders. It is my first Paris-Nice and I have now got a victory on the first stage and I have also got the yellow jersey. It is amazing. We will fight to keep this.”
A total of 124 riders finished in the front group. Those who lost out on the stage included Movistar’s Rui Costa, who crashed and retired, the flu-afflicted Pierrick Fedrigo (FDJ), who also pulled out, and Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma Quick Step), who was stranded behind in a group when the bunch split in crosswinds and who wasn’t able to return before the finish. Ditto for another favoured sprinter, Marcel Kittel (Argos Shimano), who had a puncture and also lost time.
Similarly stranded in the second group after the crosswinds were Jérémy Roy (FDJ), Christophe Le Mevel (Cofidis), Jens Voigt (RadioShack Leopard), Matti Breschel (Team Saxo-Tinkoff), Jon Tiernan-Locke (Sky Procycling) and David Millar (Garmin-Sharp).
These all lost one minute 53 seconds, while others such as Alex Howes and Jack Bauer (Garmin Sharp), Romain Sicard (Euskaltel Euskadi) and Tour of Qatar runner-up Brent Bookwalter (BMC Racing Team) were eight minutes and 23 seconds back.
Early break, late shakeup:
Very early on the break of the day was established when Romain Sicard (Euskaltel) attacked, prompting Vacansoleil DCM’s Bert-Jan Lindeman and Yannick Talabardon (Sojasun) to tag along. The trio worked hard and had established a gap of seven minutes twenty seconds by kilometre 42. Behind, the bunch was content to allow them some leeway, but then started setting tempo and brought the gap down to five minutes by kilometre 100.
Europcar was doing most of the work, protecting Damien Gaudin’s overall lead, and was joined by Argos Shimano, who were hoping to set things up for Kittel.
Lindeman took the intermediate sprint in Malesherbes (km 115), while Sicard was first on the fourth category Cote de Buthiers (km 119.5), the sole climb of the day. With no climbs to follow tomorrow, his beating of Talabardon means that he will also wear the jersey until Wednesday at least.
Just over seven kilometres later, a crash in the bunch took down several riders and caused Costa to withdraw. The Portuguese rider was regarded as a potential overall winner but instead was ruled out due to a wrist injury. Eleven kilometres after that, Katusha sprinter Alexander Kristoff also crashed, although he would go on to finish the stage.
Bouhanni’s FDJ team joined the chase with forty kilometres to go and with the gap dropping under two minutes, the break looked in trouble. Lindeman took the second intermediate sprint from Talabardon, while Sicard slipped back and was reeled in by the peloton with thirty kilometres remaining.
The break was finally caught 23 kilometres from the end, at which point the bunch split in the winds. Many riders were stranded, including Boonen and Kittel and, under the pace set by the BMC Racing Team out front, the gap extended out steadily.
Racing into the finish, the Europcar team continued to do most of the work, then the Orica GreenEdge team thundered to the front with two and a half kilometres to go. They were trying to set up Leigh Howard but mistimed their effort, enabling other teams and sprinters to be in the right position for the gallop.
Bouhanni was caught out slightly when the road split but was helped back up by Geoffrey Soupe and William Bonnet. That collaboration put him where he needed to be and he won a drag race to the line against Petacchi, the duo just about holding off Viviani.
The race continues tomorrow with a 200.5 kilometre race from Vimory to Cérilly. Gaudin is on the same overall time as Bouhanni and will do his utmost to get back on top, but with faster sprinters all around him in the general classification, he has a tough task at hand.
