Paris-Nice 2018 – Stage 5 [FULL STAGE]

March 08, 2018

Paris-Nice 2018 – Stage 5 – Salon-de-Provence – Sisteron : 165 km

The 2018 Paris–Nice is a road cycling stage race that is scheduled to take place between 4 and 11 March 2018 in France. It will be the 76th edition of the Paris–Nice and the sixth event of the 2018 UCI World Tour.

Direct Energie’s Jerome Cousin claimed a cagey victory in stage 5 of Paris-Nice, playing a smart strategic finale with breakaway companion Nils Politt (Katusha-Alpecin). With the peloton charging behind, Cousin calmly waited until the final 200 metres to make his move, powering to the line well ahead of the German.

The sprint was led home just seconds later, with André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) taking third.

Race leader Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana) maintained his position on the stage, while Cousin’s day-long efforts in the breakaway also earned him the polka dot jersey for taking the mountains classification lead.
