"You have to have good legs to be in the front for these sprints - that's why I like them so much."

Those were the words of Borut Bozic after stage one at Paris-Nice where the Slovenian sprinter finished 11th. Bozic and almost the entire peloton finished in the same time as stage winner Alexander Kristoff of Norway to open the first road stage of the 2015 edition of Paris-Nice.

A mass sprint at the end of a slow day for the peloton changed almost nothing in the General Classification, with Luis Leon Sanchez and Lars Boom remaining in the Top-10. Jakob Fuglsang and Fabio Aru held their positions at around 30 seconds behind overall leader Michal Kwiatkowski of Poland.

Stage two is another flat day and is expected to end in a sprint finish.
