Result:
Pretty dominant by Cort. Good win.
Ugly leadout from Vernon's last guy (Gilmore?), screwed everyone behind them like Godon

Dainese actually did quite a good sprint in the end from a long way back, but he's perfectly positioned at 1k and then eenkorn just lets 10-15 riders past and gets dainese stuck behind him , completely boxed, going into that corner at 400m. Cort played the final well.

Incredibly embarrassing effort by Dainese, Hobbs and especially Vernon for being the sole out-and-out sprinters here. Losing to Isidore and Busatto, really?
Marc Soler managing to throw in a rather exceptional leadout speaks to the clownery of some of the trains here.

Some rider, I don't which, really eased causing a big gap to those guys behind him.
Their chances ended by the fact they were all single file behind an NSN guy who first lost the wheel and then pulled over right in front of Vernon and slowed everyone down further. Godon then dragged them close but it was too late really. It's an uphill sprint so the dynamics are all different

Dainese got boxed by his own leadout and then hard to start sprinting in the wind at 400m

Staying out of that kind of trouble is a part of being a sprinter.

You know Ilmaestro is upset when he starts to misspell the names of the Italian riders too.
But it's not unreasonable for Vernon to follow his teammate into the final 400m. If your teammate then creates a 20m gap that's quite hard to rectify.
He wasn't even that far back, think he was 6th wheel behind Busatto and then the NSN teammate. It's not great from Vernon but it isn't awful.

I'd say that staying out of that kind of trouble is part of having a good lead-out.

Danish TV2 reporting what with 5-6K to go Cort had given up, positioned at the back of the peloton after the groups got back together, and said so on the radio.
Then Skaarseth shouted at him to suck it up and take his wheel - lead him past 100+ riders to the front of the peloton and handed him off in Charmig's wheel with 1K to go
Edit:
Cort said in his exit interview that it was from 3K to 1.5K to go, which makes Skaarseth's performance even wilder

If you check again you'll see I obviously wrote Gaudu and nothing else...
