Using a small uncategorized climb, Michael Mathews (BikeExchange-Jayco) attack his erstwhile break away companions for a long solo effort for victory. He may have been hoping someone might have come with him, but he wasn't waiting around for anyone. He quickly built up a thirty second gap on those he had left behind. He had another 51 kilometers to race, kilometers the included two more categorized climbs before the line. He clearly felt he had the legs to make it work.
