It was thanks to Alpecin-Deceuninck that there would be a sprint finish, although they were ultimately unable to place anyone in the top 10. Jakub Mareczko was the best rider in twelfth place. However, the Belgian team made sure that late breakaways could still be caught. After the group of the day with Dries De Bondt (Alpecin-Deceuninck), who was already in the breakaway yesterday, Thomas Champion (Cofidis), Jens Reynders (Israel - Premier Tech) and Julius Johansen (Intermarche - Circus - Wanty) was only placed around seven kilometres before the finish, there was no peace in the peloton.
