So as expected and is true every year, the race started with long uncontested procession.
Then there was a breakaway, though it didn't have much chance because, of course, the sprint teams brought it back. The breakaway was mostly for show- to get in front of the cameras for the final audience.
And then, the sprint finish.
That's the formula. It will be true next year too.
