Race report
Five men are off once the flag is dropped. Luke Durbridge, Niki Terpstra, Guillaume Van Keirsbulck, Thomas Boudat and Mathew Hayman. Peloton keeps chasing until km 25 before stopping its efforts. The five race to a lead of almost 2 minutes before the peloton takes control.

With 105 kms remaining the gap is down to 1 minute when Jasper Stuyven, Michael Gogl and Sep Vanmarcke try to jump across to the front group. They don’t make it and the break distances the peloton to more than 2 minutes.

Shortly after Côte d’Anos they are brought back by a group of some ten riders. A little later the peloton regains contact.
