Race report
Straight from the start the pace is so high no one is able to break free, despite numerous attempts. It’s only at Camerig – the 7th climb with 124 km’s left – Dylan van Baarle and Johan Le Bon jump off the front to race to a maximum margin of 4’55”.
With 8 km’s to go it’s down to 1 minute when Greipel, Wellens and Kelderman attack.
