Mistimed sprint costs Gerrans at Paris - Nice

Simon Gerrans (GreenEdge) was beaten on the line by Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) for the second time this season on the third stage of Paris – Nice on Tuesday. Gerrans snuck up on the right hand side after initially appearing to be out of contention for the uphill sprint finish with around 500 metres left to race.
