Po raz pierwszy w tegorocznej edycji Paryż-Nicea do mety dojechał cały peleton. Po wcześniejszych etapach, na których rządził deszcz i wiatr, a peleton rwał się na strzępy, dziś pogoda była łaskawsza, a peleton mniej nerwowy. Mimo ucieczki trójki kolarzy – Bena Kinga (Dimension Data), Pierra Rogera Latour (AG2R La Mondiale) i Romaina Combaud (Delko Marseille Provence KTM) – peleton starał się kontrolować sytuację na trasie, choć ekipy sprinterów skasowały ten odjazd dopiero na ostatnim kilometrze.
Zespoły sprinterów zaczęły wtedy rozprowadzanie swoich liderów. Swoje pociągi ustawiły ekipy Quick-Step Floors, Katiusza-Alpecin, czy FDJ, mająca w składzie lidera wyścigu, Arnaud Demare’a, ale wszystkich pogodził atakujący zza ich pleców Bennet, który w wyrównanym pojedynku ramię w ramię wyprzedził Kristoffa.
Na 5. miejscu finiszował Demare, który zachował prowadzenie w wyścigu i wciąż wyprzedza Juliana Alaphilippa (Quick-Step Floors) o 6 sekund. 58. miejsce zajmuje Michał Gołaś (Team Sky).
