La primera hora de Carrera, completada a una nada despreciable media –para la altura de temporada a la que nos encontramos– de 40 kilómetros por hora, se caracterizó por una continua sucesión de ataques en la cabeza del pelotón en busca de la fuga del día. En uno de esos primeros intentos, iniciado por Romain Feillu (St-Michel-Auber 93) y Justin Jules (WB Aqua Protect-Veranclassic), se metió también el español Julen Irizar (Euskadi-Murias), tras alcanzar poco más de 20 segundos de renta el pelotón volvió a llamarlos al orden.
No fue hasta bastante más tarde cuando Jimmy Turgis (Cofidis), Ludovic Robeet (WB Aqua Protect-Veranclassic), Julien Antomarchi (Roubaix-Lille Métropole), Marco Bernardinetti (Amore&Vita) y Lucas De Rossi (Delko Marseille-Provence KTM) recibieron el visto bueno del pelotón para conformar el quinteto que llegó a alcanzar de forma más o menos rápida una renta de más de dos minutos sobre un gran grupo que se había cansado ya de escaramuzas.
La aventura, en cualquier caso, nunca tuvo visos de poder llegar y fue neutralizada a punto de llegar a los 50 kilómetros para la línea de meta, momento en el que la etapa, aunque sea un tópico, volvió a comenzar con un pelotón que vio cómo, de nuevo, se volvían a producir ataques al frente.
Tras coronar el Col de l’Espigoulier (2ª categoría) fue Tom Dernies (Roubaix-Lille Métropole) el que, con 28 kilómetros todavía por delante, se lanzó en solitario a por las últimas vueltas al circuito local de Gémenos. Comenzó, con todavía 10 kilómetros por delante, la última ascensión con cerca de 40 segundos de renta sobre un pelotón comandado por los hombres de Cofidis.
Neutralizado el francés, ya dentro de los cinco últimos kilómetros, la carrera enloqueció. Los ataques se sucedían y ya en los tres kilómetros finales se formó un grupo de 15 unidades del que emergió un gran Rémy Di Grégorio (Delko Marseille-Provence KTM) para llevarse el triunfo.
