The 184-kilometre men’s race saw a select group battle for victory at the end of the International Cycling Union (UCI) WorldTour event.
Last year’s winner Wout Van Aert of Belgium was surprisingly distanced in the final 25 kilometres after an acceleration by world champion Julian Alaphilippe.
The French star was among the main contenders featuring in the closing kilometres and responded to an attack by Van der Poel on the final dirt section of the course.
