Robert Power fa sua la Japan Cup 2018 e chiude in bellezza il suo 2018. Il giovane atleta della Mitchelton-Scott è riuscito ad avere la meglio di Antwan Tolhoek (LottoNL-Jumbo) in una volata a due, dopo che con lui era riuscito a fare la differenza nelle ultime tornate del circuito di Utsunomiya. Completa il podio Matti Breschel (EF-Drapac), che regola allo sprint Nicolas Roche (BMC) e Ivan Santaromita (Nippo-Vini Fantini) a 40″ dal vincitore. Niente da fare per il campione uscente Marco Canola (Nippo-Vini Fantini), che non riesce ad inserirsi nella fuga giusta e chiude sesto a 2’01”.
Per quanto la Nippo abbia provato a tenere chiusa la corsa in favore del proprio capitano Canola, è rimasta chiusa dalla morsa della LottoNL-Jumbo, che ha mandato in avanscoperta a turno i propri corridori. L’azione decisiva è nata a circa 30 chilometri dal traguardo, quando, un gruppo di sei corridori è riuscito a scappare via dal gruppo. Tra questi Power e Tolhoek, che sono riusciti a loro volta a staccare i loro compagni d’avventura e giocarsi la vittoria in volata, con l’australiano che ha tuttavia vinto nettamente.
