Joaquím Rodríguez (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears) romped to victory in stage five of Paris-Nice. Trailing in the Spaniard trail of pain was Joost Posthuma (Rabobank), at 18", while No-Fuss Floyd Landis (Phonak) keeps a tight grip on his overall leader's jersey.

Paris-Nice's stage 5 was an epic 201K from Avignon to Digne-les-Bains with three climbs, one Cat 3 and two Cat 2, with the last top at 16K remaining.

Sandy Casar (Française Des Jeux) and Nicolas Crosbie (Agritubel) kick off affairs with an attack at 17K. They were joined by eight riders but then all were brought back into the fold at 40K. On the opening slopes of the Col de Notre-Dame-des-Abeilles, Francis Mourey (Française Des Jeux) and Alberto Contador (Liberty) gave it a go... They were quickly joined by David Moncoutié (Cofidis) and Joaquím Rodríguez (Caisse d'Epargne).

Five others gave chase, and bridged, to the four leaders on the Col de Notre-Dame-des-Abeilles. Nicolas Portal (Caisse d'Épargne-Illes Balears), Joost Posthuma (Rabobank), Jérôme Pineau, Stef Clement (Bouygues Telecom) and Mario Aerts (Davitamon-Lotto) joined at 58K. The nine-man move gained a maximum lead of 4'15" before the day's final climb of the Col du Corobin.

Posthuma put in the first move. His blast shook all but Rodríguez, Contador and French Moncoutié. Rodríguez countered and was able to stay clear to the line in Digne-les-Bains. It marked the first win of the season for the 26 year-old Spaniard, who switched teams in the off-season from Saunier Duval-Prodir.

Nothing changed in the GC battle, No-Fuss Floyd still holds on to a slim 9" over Wednesday's stage winner Patxi Vila and 1'13" Euskaltel's Samuel Sánchez.
