Defending champion Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) claimed fourth place, with Florian Senechal (Deceuninck-Quick Step) fifth.
“I got down to work with Politt who is also quite a brave rider. It was ideal to be in his company,” said Gilbert.
“In the finale, we rode flat out together, and in the end, it came down to who was the strongest – and that was me.”
