With fifteen kilometers to race, this foursome was just 12 seconds behind the lone figure of Julian Alaphilippe (France). Michael Valgren (Denmark) was on the front with Jasper Stuyven (Belgium) having just swung off the front. Both Dylan van Baarle (Netherlands) and Nielson Powless (USA) were resting in the Dane’s draft before it was their turn to push the pace. But try as the quartet might, they were continuing to lose time against the defending World Champion. They never did catch him, leaving these four to fight it out for the remaining two steps of the podium. Those went to Valgren, who took bronze, and Dylan van Baarle (Netherlands) who claimed silver. After all the work that Team Belgium had but in all day, they missed out on the medals with Stuyven managing a fourth place. The American, Powless, took fifth place ahead of a fast closing Thomas Piddcock (Great Britain).
