2015 Paris-Nice final podium

2015 Paris-Nice final podium, from left: climber Thomas de Gendt, young rider Michael Kwiatkowski, winner Richie Porte, 2nd place Simon Spilak, points Michael Matthews

Overall Final Winners:

GC: Richie Porte (Sky)
Points: Michael Matthews (Orica-GreenEdge)
Climber: Thomas de Gendt (Lotto-Soudal)
Young Rider: Michael Kwiatkowski (Etixx-Quick Step)
Team: Sky

The Race: It rained hard on today's racers as they climbed the Col d'Eze in the final stage, a 9.5 km timed individual hill climb. Bradley Wiggins, doing poorly in this year's Paris-Nice, did not start.

A look at the results for the stage below shows that Richie Porte, and to a lesser degree, Simon Spilak, were climbing on a different level than the rest of the riders, nearly all of them unable to get within a half-minute of the Sky rider. Impressive.

This is Porte's second Paris-Nice overall victory, he also won in 2013.

Tony Gallopin

Stage winner and GC leader Tony Gallopin

The Race: Tony Gallopin proved himself today to be a powerful racer with the ability to perfectly read a race and the courage to act upon that understanding.

It was a rainy, messy day as Gallopin and race leader Michal Kwiatkowski joined a couple of other riders to pursue an earlier break. Upon making contact, the front group had, among others, Gallopin, Kwiatkowski and Richie Porte. Porte was second in the GC, a single second behind Kwiatkowski.

Gallopin, understanding the probable negative racing that would happen with the two top GC riders together in the break but with nearly equal GC times, blasted away from the leaders with about 30 kilometers to go.

Surprisingly, he made it stick, arriving a half-minute ahead of his nearest chasers and a full minute ahead of Kwiatkowski and Porte.

That audacity and power gave Gallopin both the stage stage win and the GC lead with one stage to go. Well done!

Stage 5 finish

Davide Cimolai wins stage 5 ahead of Bryan Coquard.

The Race: A break went early, on the Col de la Republique, with Thomas de Gendt, Egor Selin, Romain Sicard, Andrew Talansky and Pawel Poljanski. The escapees had the legs to really make their escape last.

The peloton, kept their leash short, however. The maximum gap was 3min 50sec.

But in the final kilometers, the break still had a half-minute gap. As they were getting caught, de Gendt jetted away, trying to make to the line alone. It was not to be, he was passed just near the finish as the sprinters thundered to the line.

Lampre-Merida rider Davide Cimolai took the stage while Michal Kwiatkowski remained the GC leader, just a single second ahead of Richie Porte.

Richie Porte wins stage 4

Richie Porte wins stage 4. ASO photo

The Race: An early break of three riders, Antoine Duchesne (Europcar), Chris Anker Sorensen (Tinkoff-Saxo) and Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) stayed away long enough for De Gendt to take the climbers' jersey from Philippe Gilbert.

But the real action was on the final climb where Team Sky took absolute control. Though Paolo Tiralongo (Astana) tried to scoot up the hill, the high-speed train Sky set up let nothing get away. Geraint Thomas jetted away three kilometers from the top. Richie Porte quickly joined him and the two Sky riders motored away from the rest of the field.

Porte would have taken over the GC lead except that Michal Kwiatkowski was not going to surrender easily. He gave chase, finishing just 8 seconds behind the Porte-Thomas duo, preserving his overall lead by a single second.

The Race: In the day's first kilometers, both Philippe Gilbert and Florian Vachon escaped. Bradley Wiggins tried in vain to join them, eventually giving up. But, the irrepressible Thomas Voeckler gave it a shot and made contact around the day's 74th kilometer. The trio eventually carved out a five-minute lead, but the pack was having none of it. Gilbert was captured with 17 kilometers remaining, Vachon and Voeckler soon thereafter.

Close to the end Paolo Tiralongo, Romain Bardet and Jan Bakelandts tried to get away, but they were also brought back, setting things up for a big sprint.

Getting plenty of help from his Orica-GreenEdge teammates, Michael Matthews won the stage, taking the GC lead by a single second over the previous leader, Michal Kwiatkowski.

Paris-Nice Stage 2 photo finish

André Greipel wins stage 2.

The Race: Arnaud Gérard gave the dice a throw when he went off alone, almost from the gun. Sixty kilometers from the finish, he had a big lead, almost seven minutes. But when motivated, the peloton can quickly chase down a solo escapee. That's just what happened.

Then others tried their luck. Tony Martin took off and was quickly joined by Geraint Thomas, Matti Breschel and Lars Boom. Even this powerful quartet was no match for a determined peloton. They were brought back to the fold with just 1.5 kms left to go, setting things up for a big sprint.

The Gorilla, André Greipel, took the sprint, getting his second win of the season.

Michal Kwiatkowski finished 17th, to preserve his GC lead.

Paris-Nice stage 1 sprint finish

The Race: Nearly the entire peloton was together to contest the sprint of Paris-Nice's first road stage.

Earlier, Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) and Anthony Delaplace (Bretagne-Seche Environnement) had escaped and perhaps might have made good on their escape. But, with just 1.5 kilometers to go, the pack rounded them up, setting the stage for a big sprint finish.

Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) is enjoying superb form this season, with five wins so far this year. He showed today that he is still a formidable presence in sprint finishes when he triumphed again, beating Nacer Bouhanni and Bryan Coquard and 140 other riders.

Tom Boonen, who has won Paris-Roubaix three times, crashed badly and injured his shoulder, putting his spring campaign in doubt.

Michal Kwiatkowski remains the GC leader.

The Race: Interesting. The stage and overall leadership turned out to be a battle between the world road champion, Michal Kwiatkowski, and the holder of the world hour record, Rohan Dennis. Quality will out.

On a flat time trial course Kwiatkowski won by 31/100 of a second, surprisingly beating his teammate and time trial specialist Tony Martin.

Michel Kwiatkowski

A happy Michel Kwiatkowski enjoys the fruits of his excellent ride.

After the stage Kwiatkowski had this to say, "I'm really happy with my performance. This is my first win of the year. We have a very strong team. But that's not all, the road is long to Nice. "

Another surprise, Bradley Wiggins didn't crack the top ten, finishing 12th, fifteen seconds behind Kwiatkowski.
