The breakaway began to split in the final hour of racing despite the lack of true difficulties, but even with these moves the final survivors were caught with still a long 21 kilometers to go. A battle between the leadouts then slowly began in the run-in to Antalya.
Astana entered the final kilometer in the front of the peloton but lost it as other teams came up to the front. Mark Cavendish lost position as Alpecin-Deceuninck took over the head of the peloton, leading out
Simon Dehairs. However, Dehairs could only do third as Fabio Jakobsen stormed to a dominant sprint victory on the day, beating
Sasha Weemaes to second place.
