Race report
Breakaway riders Johan Meens, Oliver Wood, James Fouché, Casper van Uden, Abram Stockman and Max Walker carve out a 3.30 minutes lead.
Meens heads out alone with 52 kilometres to go. Moments later Carlos Rodriguez and Stephen Williams overhaul him and the two open up a lead of 1 minute.
The two are almost caught in the first ascent of Caerphilly Mountain. Which inspires Rodriguez to head on his own. He is first to the top of Caerphilly Mountain second time around.
Van Aert pulls the chase group, but the Spaniard stays out in front. He wins the race 11 seconds ahead of Van Aert, who seals the GC win.
