The strong winds made it a nervous days, with some splits occuring that saw some riders miss out on the battle for the win.
However in the last hour of racing things settled down and a bunch sprint was inevitable. A reduced peloton however where some of the sprinters were missing. Filippo Ganna tried to surprise in the final kilometer but it was a tough ask with the sprinters just behind.
