France\'s Sylvain Chavanel, of the Omega Pharma team, won the sixth and penultimate stage of the Paris-Nice race on Saturday, while Australia\'s Richie Porte, of Team Sky, held on to the overall lead. Chavanel pipped Belgium\'s Philippe Gilbert and Jose Joaquin Rojas of Spain in a sprint finish on Nice\'s famous waterfront Promenade des Anglais. Porte retains a 32-second lead from American Andrew Talansky in the overall standings, with Chavanel third at 42sec, level with Lieuwe Westra of the Netherlands. Sunday\'s final stage is a 9.6km time-trial up to the Col-d\'Eze. Porte had said Friday he was confident of seeing out overall victory on Sunday, although Chavanel, the French time-trial champion, could still have a say. From: AFP
