With just three kilometers left to go, it was beginning to look like it would be these three competing for the victory in Tours. Soren Kragh Andersen (Sunweb) was in the uninviable position of racing against a pair of teammates. Matteo Trentin (Quickstep) was leading the trio with his teammate Niki Terpstra waiting to contribute to the effort. Andersen could take heart that Quickstep riders have blown a three on one break in Paris Roubaix last year, but it was going to be a difficult task to chase the attacks and safe enough for his own sprint to the line.
