 The sprint was led by Orica – GreenEDGE in support of Michael Matthews , for whom the short hill before the finish line was ideal . Lampre – Merida tried and failed to come past them in the final kilometre . With 500 m ( 1 @,@ 640 ft ) to go , Orica – GreenEDGE still had four riders at the head of the peloton . Matthews was able to hold on for the win , despite a late challenge from Davide Cimolai ( Lampre – Merida ) and Giacomo Nizzolo ( Trek Factory Racing ) .
