A perfect win for Vichot really, in the French colours on the Promenade des Anglais - and it put him on the overall podium too... and no-one's mentioned that this is a first World Tour stage race win for Betancur, who won by both taking bold chances when he could and hanging on when he had too.
Apart from Slagter and Stybar, who've already been mentioned, I would also highight the quiet but very effective performance of Eduardo Sepulveda, the young Argentinian rider for Bretagne - Seche Environnement, who finished in 20th, just 2 minutes behind the winner. He's one to watch.
