Groenewegen, Elderly a year, celebrated its second success after that of Paris last year. The pro rider of the LottoNL team had spoken in a form always better before the start, on the slight ascent he had won in his tenth win of the season before the two winners Fernando Gaviria ( COL) and Peter Sagan (SVK). Groenewegen said: "I knew it was getting better every day and it was worth it to be patient."
Belgium's Greg van Avermaet continues to lead the overall standings. The BMC driver even extended his lead for three to six seconds over Geraint Thomas, Froome's second driver, to get the bonus sprint of the day.
The winner of 38 races, including a part of Austria's Le Tour 2011 in Bruck / Leitha, has a good chance of wearing the "Yellow Jersey" on the stage in Roubaix with cobblestones on Sunday. In the hell of the North, Olympic champion Rio Van Avermaet had managed the previous year. Before that, however, the 8th section at Amiens is once again tailor-made for Sprinters.
