The three are reeled in on Winchcombe Hill and Ben Turner and Mark Donovan are the next attackers. The two open up a comfortable lead before the sit up to wait for the chasers Ryan Christensen, Liam Johnston and Abram Stockman. The five enjoy a maximum lead of over 3 minutes.

Van Aert jumps to the lead group with 12 kilometres remaining. He keeps on pushing with Turner and Donovan in his wheel. Stephen Williams rejoins the three.
