Race report
Right from the start, Kelland O’Brien, Jakub Otruba, Mauro Schmid, Fred Wright, Marco Haller, Michael Storer, Pierre Thierry, Andreas Leknessund, Rasmus Tiller, Clément Izquierdo, Anthony Perez, Alexandre Delettre, and Jordan Jegat go on the attack. They don’t get it for free, and the gap remains small. This inspires Neilson Powless, Bruno Armirail, Stefan Küng, Julian Alaphilippe, Iván Romeo, Joshua Tarling, and Georg Steinhauser to jump across to the lead group.

Following some reshuffling, a lead group of fifteen riders – O’Brien, Schmid, Wright, Storer, Izquierdo, Perez, Delettre, Jegat, Powless, Armirail, Küng, Alaphilippe, Romeo, Tarling, Steinhauser – reach the Côte d’Aspremont with a 40-second advantage over the peloton. The gap widens to 3 minutes.

Third in the general classification, Mattias Skjelmose, crashes hard with just over 50 kilometres to go and is forced to abandon.

The lead group tackles the climb to the line with a 2 minutes advantage.

With 3 kilometres to the summit, only Storer and Schmid remain, when an acceleration by the Australian proves too much for the Swiss rider. That’s the decisive move and Storer solos to triumph.

Matteo Jorgenson remains in yellow, although Florian Lipowitz gains back 3 seconds with a strong finish.
