Race report
Soon after the start Jesper Asselman, Frederik Veuchelen, Laurens De Vreese, Nathan Haas, David Boucher and Nico Denz join forces and they race to a 7 minutes advantage. There it lingers for a while, but after the first hour the peloton closes the gap slowly but gradually.
When entering Bolsward for the finale two laps the gap is down to 1 minute.
With 15 kilometres to go the bunch is complete again and the sprint is unavoidable. Team Sky launches Elia Viviani perfectly and he bests young Dutchmen Danny van Poppel in the sprint.
