Orica-Scott’s Caleb Ewan and JLT-Condor’s Brenton Jones rounded out the podium.
“The stage was very hard but I survived and also GC was important for the team,” said Groenewegen.
“It was a hard day for the team but I survived it.”
LottoNL-Jumbo’s Lars Boom is still in the lead overall, with BMC’s Stefan Küng and LottoNL-Jumbo’s Victor Campenaerts in second and third.
“With the small breakaway with (Edvald) Boasson Hagen, it was a little bit critical, but I think I went full on the downhill to keep the gap as close as possible,” said Boom.
“Then some sprinter’s teams took over and still we won the sprint, so it was a great day.”
