The fifth leg from Valdeblore to Sospel was also a matter for Frenchman Nicolas Lau. However, at the end of the stage this time he was more than a second ahead of Jerome Clementz, who again finished second and now only has a four-second lead in the overall standings. The sixth and last part of the day promises an exciting dance. Fabien Barel came in third this time, improving his overall standings as a result. Things didn't go so well for Manuel Fumic again. The German slipped to 12th place overall.
