Cavendish wygrał kolejny pojedynek sprinterów w tegorocznym wyścigu, po raz kolejny nie dając rywalom większych szans na finiszu. Brytyjczyk rozpoczął finisz z trzeciej pozycji, ruszając do przodu na 150 metrów przed metą i minął Zico Waeytens (Giant-Alpecin), który wcześniej ruszył do przodu. Cavendish zerwał z koła Petera Sagana (Tinkoff-Saxo) i szybko wyprzedził Wayentsa, wysuwając się na prowadzenie kilkadziesiąt metrów przed metą. W trudnych warunkach pogodowych Cavendish zachował najwięcej sił na finiszu, wyprzedzając Wayentsa i Sagana, który w ostatniej chwili rzucił rower na kresce.
W zasadniczej grupie na metę przyjechał lider wyścigu, Toms Skujins (Hincapie Racing Team), który zachował prowadzenie w klasyfikacji generalnej i swoją przewagę nad rywalami. Drugi jest Sagan z 18 sekundami straty, a trzecie miejsce zajmuje Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx-Quick Step), który do lidera traci 44 sekundy.
