Ready, go and immediately one of the favorites is lost: namely the Dutchman Mathieu Van der Poel. In a gravel corner he loses the front and hits his face on the ground. He is forced to withdrawSEE THE VIDEO).
In the first rounds I am Jordan Sarrou, Nino Schurter and Alan Hatherly setting the pace, with the very bright South African. But it is Nino Schurter to give the first accelerations when he sees Tom Pidcock not in the top positions, on a comeback.
Tom Pidcock returns in the middle of the race and puts everyone to the whip: alone Nino Schurter resists. Nino responds to various attacks by the Englishman but has to give up when Pidcock fields yet another lunge.
From behind Sam Gaze comes up like a train and gets back on Schurter, also managing to gain on Pidcock in the last 2 laps but it's not enough to go and hang up on the Englishman, who at the end of the race will declare that he is under a lot of stress because the gearbox didn't work correctly (let's assume that the rear thru-axle was loose). Sam Gaze is silver, Nino Schurter bronze.
First of the Italians Luca Braidot, with a good performance which ends in 7th place. Bad arrival of Victor Koretzky, which risks downgrading given the bad gestures directed at the public.
