Michal Kwiatkowski (Etixx-Quick-Step) moved into an early race lead at the 2015 Paris-Nice, winning Sunday's prologue narrowly ahead of Australian Rohan Dennis (BMC).
Having started an hour-and-a-half ahead of the Polish time trial champion, Dennis's time of 7-40 on the 6.7km course was starting to look unbeatable, with even three-time world time trial champion Tony Martin (Etixx-Quick-Step) coming up short by seven seconds.
