Wow, we'll pick the bones out of that in our report, but the headline is Alex Kristoff back to winning ways with an awesome show of strength.
The Norwegian put in some massive efforts earlier in the day to bridge the gap to the break before sitting up, only to come back and beat some of the world's fastest sprinters...
Alexander Kristoff wins it for UAE Team Emirates! That came out of nowhere....
Mohoric goes early.
Total mayhem. It'll be a bunch finish.
It's back together!
Langeveld takes a pop!
I think they might catch them!
Flamme Rouge for the leading four!
This race is escaping from the bunch!
2km
Luke Rowe puts in a dig. Then blows up. Again. top marks for effort though.
3km
The chase is falling apart. Still the other teams lean on Deceuninck.
It's Amund Jansen for Jumbo Visma completing the quartet off the front.
4km
Stybar still chasing for Viviani. Epic from him.
It'll be a miraculous win if they stay away...
Attack of four! Langeveld, Bauer and Stuyven...
Nobody on earth is as tired as Zdenek Stybar right now.
7km
They go round a big roundabout. Everybody is looking at each other. Who'll be next to take a flyer?
Oooooooh this is fraught...
