breakaway included Ya\u00ebl Joalland (Cofidis), Declan Irvine (Novo Nordisk), Th\u00e9o Delacroix (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93), Joeri Schaper (Soudal Quick-Step Devo&#8217;), Kenny Molly (Van Rysel Roubaix) and Ville Merl\u00f6v (BHS-PL Beton Bornholm).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">The gap settled in a 2:30 gap at 50km into the race, and they maintained that lead into the final stages of the race, only for a move of 10 to make it across.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Given they had four riders up the front, Cofidis maintained a high space, and after Stan Van Tricht (Soudal-QuickStep Devo&#8217; Team) was brought back from a persistent late attack, the French squad left Bryan Coquard, their Frenchman, ideally placed in the final metres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">However, Coquard apparently launched his sprint from too far out, and Venturini was able to come around him for the win.<\/p>\n<div

breakaway included Ya\u00ebl Joalland (Cofidis), Declan Irvine (Novo Nordisk), Th\u00e9o Delacroix (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93), Joeri Schaper (Soudal Quick-Step Devo&#8217;), Kenny Molly (Van Rysel Roubaix) and Ville Merl\u00f6v (BHS-PL Beton Bornholm).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">The gap settled in a 2:30 gap at 50km into the race, and they maintained that lead into the final stages of the race, only for a move of 10 to make it across.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Given they had four riders up the front, Cofidis maintained a high space, and after Stan Van Tricht (Soudal-QuickStep Devo&#8217; Team) was brought back from a persistent late attack, the French squad left Bryan Coquard, their Frenchman, ideally placed in the final metres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">However, Coquard apparently launched his sprint from too far out, and Venturini was able to come around him for the win.<\/p>\n<div
