It was very hard, really very, very hard. I went really hard from the start and I was suffering a lot. You go fast, but you don’t really know if the others go faster. And this course feels fast anyway, even if you don’t go fast. I didn’t know anything until I arrived at the finish line
It’s a day that is exceptionally hard, it really is a special course. I think one weak moment can change the whole GC, not only getting me out of the yellow, but for everybody. Tomorrow is going to be super tough.

Here is today’s top 10.
2026-06-20T10:52:50.310Z
Marlen Reusser (Movistar) is today’s stage winner and also goes in to the yellow jersey ahead of tomorrow’s final stage.
2026-06-20T10:49:12.308Z
Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) crosses the finish line with a time of 30:41, 1:04 slower than Marlen Reusser (Movistar).
2026-06-20T10:46:46.706Z
Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM) finished 1:46 slower than Reusser (Movistar). This is a blow for Niewiadoma’s GC standing and leaves her with a lot of work to do tomorrow if she wants to be in competitive.

New fastest time
Marlen Reusser (Movistar) sets a new fastest time of 29:36, 11 seconds faster than Zoe Bäckstedt (Canyon//SRAM). This should be enough to take the win today and potentially the yellow jersey.

Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) passes through the intermediate split 31 seconds down on the time of Marlen Reusser (Movistar). Longo Borghini started the day 55 seconds up on Reusser in the GC, so the gaps could be very close when Longo Borghini crosses the finish line.

The heat made it super hard. A time trial is hard anyway but to throw 30 degrees or whatever we are today into the mix, it makes it really challenging and there was not really a lot of wind on course so you couldn’t really cool down from that. It was like the whole time corners, accelerating out, going over the limit and back down. Super hard day, but do I dare say that I enjoyed it a little bit? Maybe, maybe not. No, I had some fun, it was nice to push myself and do a time trial again. Now I just wait to see what the others bring in.

Crash
Maeva Squiban (UAE Team ADQ) crashed with 200m to go, but managed to get back up and finished 59 seconds down in 5th place. Without the crash, this could have been a really strong TT for Squiban.
