Once in the race from the beginning, a group of 8 was formed, including Mario Mola, Gómez Noya, the Brownlee brothers, Richard Murray, Ryan Baile and the Portuguese Joao Pereira and Joao Silva.

 

They went together until the last km where Alistair Brownlee I made an attack that increased the rhythm leaving the head in a group of 6 that would reach the last meters.
