For quite a while specialist Fabian Cancellara was fastest on Lusail Circuit. Then Michael Hepburn and Daniele Bennati came, beating the Swiss with respectively 6 seconds and less then 1 second.
At the intermediate time check Lars Boom proved to be the fastest of all. However, Hepburn’s strong second part of the race was too much for the Dutchman, who had 1 second short at the finish line.
GC leader Terpstra was 8 seconds behind Hepburn, enough to stay upfront.
