25 kilometers before the arrival, Phinney seemed to fall back into the pack after equipment problems but he managed to come back in the breakaway. With Silvan Dillier, Michael Schär, Damien Gaudin, Nils Politt and Guillaume Van Keirsbulck, he took a maximum of forty seconds on the pack.
The sprinters' teams took the attackers five kilometers from the end. Belgian champion Yves Lampaert tried to avoid a massive sprint, but he was picked up 400 meters from the finish and Kristoff won the sprint.
