Tim van Dijke was the first Team Jumbo-Visma rider to start the time trial. The 22-year-old Dutchman rode a solid race and finished just outside the top twenty with a time of 31:16. With Milan Vader also finishing his Portuguese campaign, it was time for the top of the standings. Foss rode the fifth fastest time at both checkpoints. The Norwegian could not accelerate on the final section and finished 28 seconds behind winner Stefan Küng.

"It went well”, Foss said. "I didn't have the best feeling, but it was my first race of the year. I have to be patient. I had a good start, but there is room for improvement. That is normal at this stage. We did our best as a team, and we have to be happy with fourth place and keep working hard.”

"We did everything we could”, sports director Marc Reef said. "Tim and Milan rode a good time trial. After that, it was all about Tobias. He gave everything. With Tobias, you hope for more. He just rode a very strong time trial. It's a shame to miss the podium by a few seconds. It has not been an easy week with all the crashes. Yesterday there were only three of us in the race, which took more energy than usual. The team, and especially Tobias, fought well this week.”
