(Recasts after Bardet disqualified) PARIS, March 5 (Reuters) - Pre-race favourite Romain Bardet has been disqualified from the Paris-Nice after being towed by his team car following a crash on the opening stage, organisers said on Sunday. Frenchman Bardet, second overall in last year's Tour de France, fell off his bike with about 23 kilometres left and made his way back to a group of chasers by breaching the rules on team car assistance. The disqualification is a blow for the AG2R-La Mondiale rider as the week-long Paris-Nice race was an early goal ahead of July's Tour de France.
