So, the positions were more or less set at the last curve.

Only Groves (🇦🇺 Alpecin) managed to truly accelerate in the end; with a longer straight line he may have won (only finished 5^th^). My Fretin (🇧🇪 Cofidis) wasn't in a great position (not a terrible one either), but when he tried to overtake the riders in front of him, he clearly lacked power and failed; World Tour may be a bit tough for him (or he had no teammate to help him in the last kilometres and wasted a lot of energy navigating alone).

We had thought of Kooij🇳🇱 (2^nd^) but not of the other two Dutchmen Van Uden🇳🇱 (1^st^, Picnic) and Ziijlaard🇳🇱 (3^rd^, Tudor).
