Milan Fretin takes the victory at Ronde van Limburg as Biniam Girmay misses out

Milan Fretin has won the Ronde van Limburg after a chaotic ending, where Biniam Girmay failed to pick up his first win of the season.

One of the first big moves of the day came when Tibor Del Grosso took off on the Manshoven cobbled section, with around 50km to the finish lines. He could certainly be a star of the future.

With 25km left to go, a front three of Tupalik, Vervenne and Rosenlund held a gap of 29 seconds to the peloton. But could they make it stick? With Alpecin-Deceuninck leading the peloton, it looked set to be a difficult task.

But then Del Grosso was at it again, taking a small advantage over the peloton with 14km to go. The Dutch under 23 champion was a real danger, and Biniam Girmay was one of the riders in pursuit.

But the dangerous move did not stick, and it was all to play for once again. Would the chase cost Girmay, as the race came down to a sprint?

Meanwhile, disaster struck for Elia Viviani as he suffered a mechanical in the closing stages and had to swap bikes.

And so it came down to a sprint, and a chaotic lead up too. There was plenty of shoulder barging along the way, and ultimately a crash before the final turn.

It was not be for Girmay, and the win went to the Cofidis rider Milan Fretin ahead of Simon Dehairs.
