Actually I'd be surprised if he'd hung on today.
Which I don't think he did. The GC seems wrong. It also showed Costa 2nd which we don't yet know if he'll keep and Bakelants 8th when he lost 10 minutes

If when you read this it still says Stybar 5th, they haven't updated yet. He finished 15th at 1m33s. Gallopin was 10th.

Denifl 8th.  
EDIT: Erm, 7th now. If I keep refreshing he may end up winning the thing.

Nibali simply sucked this race. No way he is challenging Froome and Contador with this form. He was dropped on a hill 3 times this race.
You were on the right path until writing any words other than Nibali and form. |

Slagter should've won this if... Yeah, it's better to end that discussion. He did great with two stage victories. And Rojas 4th. 
Although this Paris-Nice didn't have a mountain stage and/or TT, it was a very nice one imo. The gaps were small and none of the classifications were decided till the last day.
@Shonak: Keep refreshing I'd say.

Rojas 4th in Paris - Nice. For a sprinter that is amazing, but why did it have to be 4th? |

Johan Kaggestad mentioned something about Rojas, up untill 2011, had had 118 top 10-finishes, but only 6 wins, or something.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Vichot is looking good this season, hopefully he can build on his results from last season. Was talking about him last night about how he seemed to miss the last edge, but he proved me wrong
Brilliant race from FDJ in total, with two stage victories and 3rd in the GC.

Agreed, it's great to see AG2R and FDJ doing well at their home race, not doing too shabby at Tirreno either.
Vichot could surprise at Amstel.

Officially after this race he has 232 top 10-finishes, and 7 victories. Impressive.
Edit: Kaggestad spoke of 180, which is about the same amount I found.

This Paris-Nice was entirely for the young guns. Arthur Vichot (25) is the oldest stage winner this year! |

It's not even sure if he will ride it in the first place. |
