BORA - hansgrohe have had an absolutely brilliant day: After winning the final stage and the overall classification with Aleksandr Vlasov, over in Germany at the Eschborn-Frankfurt Sam Bennett has taken his first win of the season with the win in the final bunch sprint.
The breakaway consisted of Pierre Roland (B&B Hotels-KTM), Jens Reynders (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), Johan Meens (Bingoal Pauwels Sauces WB), Daan Hoole (Trek-Segafredo) and Juan Antonio López-Cózar (Burgos-BH). It was a group that the peloton didn't struggle to control, as Bahrain - Victorious, Alpecin-Fenix and BORA-hansgrohe paced throughout the day.
Despite the hilly nature of the race, the sprinters weren't put into difficulties. Some attacks with 90 kilometers to go surged through but were closed down quickly, whilst in the final two ascents the pace was relatively conservative, with no team showing intent of attacking the race - having few riders dropped.
The peloton rode down to Frankfurt, where in the final circuit it was a fight for positioning into the final kilometers as a bunch sprint became inevitable. Intermarché and Bahrain looked strong in the closing kilometers positioning their leaders, however a turn of speed from Danny van Poppel brought Sam Bennett to prime positioning for the final hundred meters, where Sam Bennett kicked and kept the speed to take a very important win.
Fernando Gaviria and Alexander Kristoff completed the podium in the German race.
