Race report
Thomas Gloag, Paul Lapeira and Robert Stannard intitiate the breakaway, while Antoine Aebi and Alexander Kamp track them down. The five carve out a lead of over 4 minutes.

While a numbers of sprinters, including Gaviria, are dropped in the hilly zone, the peloton neutralises the attack with 34 kilometres to go. Gaviria rejoins the bunch a few kilometres after that.

Moments later Bouchard jumps off the front to open a small lead, while Reichenbach and Kluckers rejoin him. The three race to a 30 seconds lead before they are caught inside the last 2 kilometres.

Gaviria opens the sprint early and he powers to a commanding victory. Yates finishes safely in the bunch to seal the GC win.
