It was cloudy, and it was forecasted that there would be a slight chance of showers during the race with a maximum of 19-20 degrees. An initial crash meant the race had to be neutralised for 4 minutes. As the race got started the peloton were keen to get the race over. The pace was extremely high and immediately splits started to form. Just before the first sprint the front started to split as the rider attacked for the bonus points. Kirsten Wild (AA Drink) secure maximum points and bonus seconds. A leading group of approximately 77 riders formed after 50km of racing.
