German sprinter Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano) proved to be strongest on stage two of Paris-Nice, punching clear in the sprint finish after a messy end to a long day in the saddle. 

The 24 year-old ended up winning by a safe margin from Elia Viviani (Cannondale) and Leigh Howard (Orica-GreenEdge) after former race leader and yesterday's stage winner Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ) crashed out of the race midway through the stage.
