The peloton took on a high pace from the start, completing 50 kilometers during the first hour. After 56 kilometres 8 cyclists formed a breakaway: Jonas Ljungblad (Omega Pharma–Lotto), Mathew Hayman (Team Sky), Jackson Stewart (BMC Racing Team), David Boucher (Landbouwkrediet), Arnoud van Groen (Vacansoleil), Cyril Lemoine (Saur–Sojasun), Gregory Joseph (Topsport Vlaanderen–Mercator) and Niko Eeckhout (An Post–Sean Kelly). The group obtained a lead of up to six minutes over the peloton. After 168 kilometres Jackson Stewart was dropped from the lead group and with 192 kilometres gone, only Mathew Hayman, Niko Eeckhout, Jonas Ljungblad, Arnoud van Groen and Cyril Lemoine were left although they were all caught just a few kilometres further.
