Bennett is dropped with 65 kilometres remaining. Moments later half the peloton hits the deck and the other half speeds up.
The remaining leaders are brought back and Quentin Pacher gives it a go with 45 kilometres to go. The Frenchman opens up a gap of 1.30 minutes before the peloton begins to reel him in. The catch is made inside the last 19 kilometres.
