The early break had been larger, as had their gap on the peloton, but this foursome of Natnael Berhane (Dimension Data), Remy Di Gregorio (Delko Marseille Provence KTM), Pierre-Luc Perichon (Foruneo-Vital Concept) and Axel Domont (Ag2r La Mondiale) were able to keep working together. As they worked to stay off the front, hoping against hope that they would make it to the end of the stage, the peloton was getting it together for a sprint royale.
