A pan flat parcours screamed sprint finish and Andre Greipel helped himself to win number three. His Lotto-Soudal train bossed the technical run in, delivering their captain first into the last corner with 300m to go. Caleb Ewan (Orica-GreenEDGE) tried to squeeze up the inside, but the Gorilla used his strength and power to keep the youngster behind him. Trek-Segafredo’s Giacomo Nizzolo finished a distant third. The GC remains unchanged, as the threat of rain led to the finish being neutralised with the time for all riders being taken on the penultimate lap.
