Jose Been on Twitter: "Alexander Kristoff (KAT) did take the start in today’s stage in Paris-Nice"

Maybe you read it as didn't? Or do you have another source?

on twitter someone said he DNS, that's why i wrote "apparently"

The official PN twitter page only mentioned Seeldrayers as DNS so Been must be right
 
Vacansoleil team director Hilaire Van der Schueren told http://www.letour.fr why Boeckmans had given up on the breakaway: "We were hoping for a ten-man break but there are only three of them. There's a lot of wind so we decided it was better for him to save strength for the finis as he is a good sprinter." In any case, the Vacansoleil team have won all the intermediate sprints held in this edition so far.
Did the weather gods hear our prayers?

It's a headwind, not a crosswind. Also the final loop apparently is through some woodlands so not much chance we get echelons. I expect a slow, simple sprintstage.

from OPQS twitter :
"After winning the 1st intermediate sprint Boeckmans dropped from the breakaway. Smukulis and Christensen continue"

It seems Boeckmans read my previous post :D
they have to put an end to riders "reading and tweeting" during the race.. or at least while on breakaway or sprints.
