Dan Martin gives his all to grab third spot

Dan Martin claimed one of the best stage-race results of his career yesterday, taking third in Paris-Nice after a thrilling final day.

The Irishman, riding for QuickStep Floors, started the day 30 seconds down overall on race leader Sergio Henao (Team Sky) but attacked him repeatedly.

Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo) started the day third overall and also went on the offensive before eventually breaking clear on the penultimate climb of the day.
