Overview
- A strong ride in the 12.5 km Wieliczka individual time trial let Marco Brenner move from fourth to first in the overall standings and secure the overall victory.
- Tudor Pro Cycling celebrated a double success as teammate Stefan Küng won the stage in 14:25 while Brenner posted 14:36 to take the yellow.
- Finn Fisher-Black finished second on the time trial in 14:29 and climbed to second place overall, with Iván Romeo completing the final podium in third.
- Pre-race favorites were weakened by crashes and withdrawals, most notably Joao Almeida abandoning after a crash and Christian Scaroni dropping from race leader to seventh after a poor final ride.
- The win is Brenner's first overall victory in a stage race and his first WorldTour triumph, marking a major career milestone for the 23-year-old German from Augsburg and raising his profile ahead of the autumn calendar.
