Half way up the 10km 6% cat 1 Col de Vence which crests 33 km from the finish: an early large break was whittled down to just (R-to-L) Xavier Tondo of Cervelo Test Team, Damiano Cunego of Lampre and Cyril Gautier of Bbox Bouygues Telecom | share this photo |

Tondo dropped Cunego and Gautier near the top. While Gautier retreated to the peloton, Cunego attempted to bridge up on the descent | share this photo |

However, the Spaniard was able to solo the 33+ km to the finish thus avoiding a sprint finish with Cunego, the better sprinter. The peloton crossed just five seconds later. | share this photo |

Winning a hard, fast stage at Paris-Nice in solo fashion is easily the biggest win to date for the 31 year-old Xavier Tondo | share this photo |
