From the start there were solo attacks from Eeckhout, Millar and G. Auger. None came to anything. At km 11, 23 riders went away. They lost Bruylandts due to mechanical problems. There were attacks and counter attacks from this group. At the Summit on the Côte de Vaudrampont (km 28), the gap was 1.00 and Tombak led from Silovs and Ludovic Auger. Detilloux came just after. The other 27 riders were not far behind also.

Over the top of the Côte de Fresnoy-la-Rivière (km 40), Silovs was first followed by Tombak and Rastelli with a lead of 0.50. The sprint bonuses at Crépy-en-Valois (km 46), went to Magnusson from Silovs and Barthe. The peloton was coming fast with Streel and Sweet attacked from the front group. The 25 riders were caught at km 58 but Streel and Sweet held a 50 second lead. It stabilised at around 1.00 for the next 30 kms.

In the last 25 kms, the peloton gained slowly on the two leaders. At km 83.5 it was down to 0.40, then 0.28 at km 88.5, 0.16 at km 93.5, 0.16 at km 96.5 and 0.15 with one km to go. Sweet held of the young Belgian to take the stage.
