Ultimately, the U.S. riders were unable to finish at the front of the field as the 191-kilometer course proved challenging over rain-slicked streets and ten climbs of Mount Ulriken. Will Barta (Boise, Idaho/Axeon Hagens Berman) was the top American in the overall standings, finishing 54th, 1:50 back of the winning time. Teammate Neilson Powless (Roseville, Calif./Axeon Hagens Berman) finished in a group 7:34 back in 92nd place, while Justin Oien (Escondido, Calif./Caja Rural-Seguras RGA) was in the next group across the line in 102nd, 9:16 back.
McNulty and Ian Garrison (Decatur, Ga./Axeon Hagens Berman) left it all out on the road and were among the 55 riders who did not finish the challenging course.
Benoit Cosnefroy (FRA) outsprinted Lennard Kamna (GER) to take the Rainbow Jersey in 4:48:23. Michael Carbel Sevndgaard (DEN) took the bronze medal.

Summer Moak (Phoenix, Ariz./TWENTY20 Pro Cycling) came in 68th with a time of 2:17:21, and Alijah Beatty (Washington, Iowa/NorthStar Development) finished 79th in 2:28:35.
