C’est le Slovaque Peter Sagan, champion du Monde en titre, qui conserver son titre à Doha au Qatar. Au terme des 257,5 km, il devance au sprint l’Anglais Mark Cavendish et le Belge Tom Boonen. 3 titrés mondiaux pour ce sprint somptueux.
Tout s’est joué à 160 km de l’arrivée, a grand coups de bordures rapport au vent sur Doha. Les Belges et Anglais dynamitent la course et le peloton explose en 3 groupes. Bouhanni, Greipel, Kittel, Degenkolb et Démare sont piégés. Devant, on retrouve une trentaine de coureurs dont Kristoff, Van Avermaet, Viviani, Boonen, Cavendish, Sagan et le Français Bonnet.
Au final, personne ne reviendra sur ce groupe et c’est le champion du Monde en titre, champion d’Europe le mois dernier qui règle Cavendish et Boonen.
