The sprint finish took place after it had earlier appeared that Mads Wurtz Schmidt (Israel Start-Up Nation), Marcus Burghardt (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Kevin Geniets (Groupama-FDJ) had appeared to be the three dominating the race, but they were caught by the peloton close to the finish before being usurped.
