Stage 7 – Thomas De Gendt takes third stage win for Vacansoleil-DCM in  the 2012 Paris-Nice as Wiggins holds on to lead ready for the battle on stage 8 in the Time Trial
| Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage 3 | Stage 4 | Stage 5 | Stage 6 |
After a really strong stage in which De Gendt was on the attack for over 170 kilometres, the Belgium rider soloed to victory on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. On the last and hardest climb of the day, De Gendt went away from his companion in the stage’s long break, Rein Taaramae.
 |
Like in 2011, De Gendt won a stage at Paris-Nice: “I like traditions and I choose my moments” he said afterwards. “Once we got away, I knew it was for the whole day. My first plan was to aim for the time trial on Sunday but the sport directors saw chances for today and once I saw it was the right break, I didn’t save myself for tomorrow.â€
After 220k, De Gendt crossed the fine line on his own: “On the last climb, Taaramae didn’t work with me anymore while we agreed to keep riding. I got a little bit angry and after he attacked I few times I showed him how strong I am. Eventually I had to ride the last 50k alone and that hurts!”
“It wasn’t until the last kilometre I celebrated on this beautiful coast road to the finish.â€
The 25-year old sees the Giro d’Italia as his first main goal of the season: “I want to be in perfect shape in May which means you have to take an easy season start in January and February. The team and I work hard to this goal in and outside the races. The fact that I can win here in a WorldTour race is great.â€
Frederik Veuchelen has also secured the win the mountain classification for Vacansoleil-DCM. The Belgium just needs to complete the final time trial to take the Polka dot jersey home. Veuchelen succeeds Eddy Merckx as the last Belgium winner of the mountain classification in Paris-Nice: “It is an honor to succeed Eddy Merckx forty years after his win. I had a good winter and the condition is great. Most of the seasons I perform from February to October and it will be interesting to see if I can keep this level.â€
On the final stage, Lieuwe Westra aims for the final win in Paris-Nice. The 29 year old time trial specialist is second in the GC six seconds behind Bradley Wiggins. The Dutch rider did the tt-course by car on Saturday evening and will ride it on Sunday morning: “It is a hard course which means the strongest will win. I am confident and look forward to tomorrow.â€

Pressure on Wiggins?
So is the pressure on Bradley Wiggins to hold onto the yellow jersey which he has had for nearly all the race. “It’s now up to Brad to do the best he possibly can in the time trial on Sunday – may the best man win” says Team Sky Director Sportif Sean Yates
The win by De Gent on stage 7 was an ideal situation for Wiggins and Team Sky who had again been watchful throughout on the front. They had been reduced to seven men early on when Christian Knees, who had been battling a cold, abandoned the race but that didn’t stop them from controlling matters to protect Wiggins’ advantage.
Even in the closing kilometres the likes of Geraint Thomas and Richie Porte did big turns on the front to keep the pace high in an attempt to keep his rivals at bay.
One who had already been ruled out by that point was Leipheimer, in third at the start of the day, who was caught up in two crashes and then as he tried to chase back on in the final run to Nice he hit the deck for a third time to end his chances.
It all means the general classification going into the final 9.6km uphill time trial on the Col d’Eze sees Wiggins, who is attempting to become only the second Briton after Tommy Simpson to win Paris-Nice, with a six seconds lead over Lieuwe Westra. Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) is 18 seconds adrift in third and it’s then 37 seconds and more back to the rest.
Reflecting on another job well done, Sports Director Sean Yates said: “It was a tough day in the office early on for the boys as it took much longer for the break to go today and was hard work at the beginning.
Looking ahead to the final day, Riche Porte who can also Time Trial well added: “I’ll be going full gas on the time trial tomorrow because I want to see where I am after my illness and my fall earlier in the week, but it’s what Bradley does that everyone will be looking at and it would be an amazing achievement if he can wrap up the win.”
Crashfest — For top time trialist Levi Leipheimer, it was one of those days that cyclists suffer from time to time and for Levi, it came on stage 7 of a major race. “On the first crash, there was a corner with gravel and I dropped my vest into my front wheel because everybody reacted,” Levi Leipheimer said.”I was holding my vest but had to let go to brake and it went in the front wheel.”
“By the time I crashed I was going slow so it was not such a big deal. I hit my wrist, which is swollen but it was OK. I got on my spare bike, but I did the Col de Vence climb and wasn’t feeling as good on my bike. I wanted to get back on my other bike, back on the first bike. On the downhill, I was right there at the front with Bradley Wiggins and Alejandro Valverde. I was fine, I was paying attention, but someone from behind wasn’t and they hit me hard and broke my bike at the same time as Movistar attacked.”
“Stijn Vandenbergh and Kevin de Weert and Dries Devenyns and Tony Martin waited for me, but we were really close to the bunch. We arrived close to the group, but in the right corner there was a motorbike protecting someone from Lampre who crashed. We couldn’t avoid them. I think everyone passed except Dries and I couldn’t avoid it, and I crashed into him. It’s easy for me to say I could have done this or that tomorrow, but that’s part of the race. It was just bad luck.”
“First of all you have to look at the positives,” Sports Director Brian Holm said. “The third crash downhill at 15km, that was not fun. Going into something standing still you can really hurt yourself. I saw them hurt themselves badly, but don’t think anybody broke anything. My first thought was ‘shoot, arms and legs were broken.’ Levi, he is made of chocolate. You know, third time down, to get back on your bike, you have to be very strong. I am just glad no one broke their bones. The team waited for Levi. Everybody waited for the captain. he goes down, everyone goes down. That’s what they have to do. Sylvain was in the top nine so he did what he had to do. Stuff happens.”
