Lewis Askey moved solo off the front from there on, and he was later on caught by a group containing teammate Olivier Le Gac, Tovias Johannessen, Riley Sheehan and Joris Delbove.
It looked like a group that wasn't overly threatening as it lacked many of the big figures, however that was not necessary. The peloton did not have enough gas. Le Gac launched the sprint for his teammate Askey, but in the end it was Israel - Premier Tech's stagiaire Sheehan who sprinted for the triumph, beating Askey and Johannessen.
