Following the catch of the break, by the time the peloton reached the finishing circuit a bunch sprint seemed the most likely outcome to settle the day. Former European cyclocross champion Michael Vanthourenhout had other ideas though, attempting a flyer inside the final 10km. Ultimately though, there was no denying the sprinters, and in the fight for the line it was Dylan Groenewegen who took the win, emerging clear of
Danny van Poppel and
Tim Torn Teutenberg.
