His first win at the WorldTour since joining last year at EF Education Nippo. Make no mistake about his time trial talent, he recently was showcased at the UAE Tour where he placed second in the event.
"It's a dream come true. You watch races imagining how it feels like to wear a Yellow Jersey. Time trials definitely suit me and I'm very happy. It's the second big stage race of my career. "
-Stefan Bissegger
"I was hoping for a top 20 and I got that. Then it was so amazing to see Bissegger take the stage win and jersey. It was a big win overall for the team today."

"We're gonna have a fun dinner tonight and we'll use this momentum for the rest of the race. It gave us the confidence we needed to carry forward."
