He landed on the grass and was able to rejoin the group, although he appeared to be shaken by the crash. As the riders approached the Kemmelberg for the final time, Roelandts had a lead of around two minutes. Vandenbergh led up the climb, with Thomas following closely and the other riders struggling. Vanmarcke and Terpstra soon caught up, with Debusschere quickly following. Paolini eventually returned to the group, but Oss was unable to do so. As they crossed the final climb of the day with 30 kilometres (19 miles) remaining, Roelandts had a one-minute lead ahead of the six-man group.

Thomas led the chase, with
Vanmarcke and Debusschere looking tired. The six riders therefore came into the final 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) together. With around 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) remaining, Paolini attacked and was chased down by the other riders; he then attacked again and built a gap, which he was able to maintain to the finish. Terpstra beat Thomas to second place, followed by Vandenbergh, Debusschere, and Vanmarcke within a minute and Roelandts and Oss further behind. The main peloton came in more than five minutes behind Paolini, with Kristoff winning the sprint for ninth place ahead of Sagan. Only 39 riders finished the race.

Lefevere pointed to the absence of Tom Boonen as a reason for his riders' nervousness. Geraint Thomas felt that the other riders had been looking at him in particular to chase Paolini because of his win in the E3 Harelbeke; he said that he "didn't have much left" in the sprint at the end of the race.

The conditions were so severe that some team officials called for the race to be neutralised to ensure the riders' safety. Shortly afterwards, two large groups came back together. The main peloton was therefore made up of around 100 riders and was approximately two minutes behind the breakaway. The breakaway was caught soon afterwards.

By this point, Roelandts had led solo for around 50 kilometres (31 miles) and was beginning to struggle. He was caught with around 20 kilometres (12 miles) remaining. As he was caught, Terpstra suffered a puncture. He quickly returned to the group and immediately attacked, with
