The three riders are caught 11km from the finish under the impetus of Movistar and SD Worx in the peloton. IThe gap continues to melt and Spratt is caught up in the climb in Cherave. At the top, there are only regarding ten of them under the impetus of Vollering, but things stall and a second group picks up once more just before the start of the final ascent of the Mur de Huy.
