With 3km to go the break has 22". The sprinters are ready.


Out of all people Boonen leads into the last kilometre. As you can see it's all close.


Sagan storms through and into the lead. Kittel is behind.


A win for the Slovak. Demare beats Boonen to 2nd.

Another sprint stage. Let's see what the main men can do.

Coppel win the sprint, while Kittel is the best from the peloton.

With 5km left Leukemans attacks. He has 47" to the peloton.


The bunch are prepared, but they will be sprinting for 7th.


Elia Favilli takes the win!
