The riders faced an individual time trial of around 24 kilometres. In the streets of Pétange, Tiesj Benoot, who was 10th in the general classification before the start, had a difficult day and finished 33rd.

"Koen rode a flawless time trial”, sports director Maarten Wynants said. "He was aiming for a good result, and he certainly achieved that. Campenaerts and Brandon McNulty stood out, but he can be satisfied with his performance. With Tiesj, we had hoped for a bit more, but a bad day can happen.”

In the penultimate stage, Bouwman moved to seventh place in the general classification, forty seconds behind leader Marc Hirschi. "There are still a lot of possibilities as far as the general classification is concerned”, Wynants continued. "Besides the fact that UAE Team Emirates has four riders in the top six, I expect an open battle on the final day. That should present opportunities for us.”
