After the start in France it took about 20 kilometers before a group of three managed to get away from the peloton. The wearer of the polka dot jersey Julien Bernard (Trek-Segafredo), Tom Bohli (Tudor Pro Cycling Team) and Gleb Brussenskiy (Astana) found each other and gathered three minutes. The flight did not seem very promising, especially because Jumbo-Visma was leading in the large group. And then the three at the front came to a close 70 kilometers from the finish in front of a closed railway crossing. The train soon passed and the riders were able to continue their way, but it was clumsy and it also cost the leading group part of their lead.
