5km to go: 

Nils Politt (Katusha-Alpecin) makes the first move.. He tears away from that original leading pack, but is already being chased down by Bora-Hansgrohe...

4km to go:

Politt surrenders. He's reeled in and they're all bunched up again. It's going to be a dramatic finish. Peter Sagan has started moving into position.
