Holenderka Marianne Vos (Rabo Liv) wygrała trzeci etap wyścigu oraz objęła prowadzenie w klasyfikacji generalnej.
Mistrzyni świata na finiszu z peletonu wyprzedziła Emme Johansson (Orica AIS) i Giorgie Bronzini (Wiggle Honda).
Pomimo silnie wiejącego wiatru główny peleton kontrolowany przez ekipę Rabo Liv trzymał się niemal cały czas razem. Vos punktowała na lotnych premiach, zbierając bonifikaty i redukując tym samym 6-sekundową stratę do liderki Rossello Ratto (Estado de Mexico Faren).
26-letnia Holenderka swoje przewagi ukoronowała również na finiszu, sięgając po etap i koszulkę liderki wyścigu.
26. przyjechała Katarzyna Pawłowska (Boels Dolmans).
