The best German sprinter, Marcel Kittel (Arnstadt / Katusha-Alpecin) finished third behind world champion Peter Sagan (Slovakia / Bora-Hansgrohe). "It was a tough sprint, third place is acceptable, I played a little poker, but I was late in the end," Kittel said. German runner-up John Degenkolb (Gera / Trek-Segafredo) is ranked eighth. André Greipel (Rostock / Lotto-Soudal) lost his chance in 26.
