New rules and timing methods mean that the time for the team in the Team Time Trial is taken when the first rider crosses the line. However, each individual rider is given his actual time on the day, not the time of the first of his team. That may be why Tobias Foss (Ineos-Grenadiers) went off alone leaving his last two teammates, Magnus Sheffield and Thymen Arensman being in the closing meters. Sheffield had started the day confident that he could regain the Maillot Blanc of best young rider and even hoped to become the next Maillot Jaune. Instead, the team's performance saw him dropping a place in the young riders' competition and dropping to tenth in the general classification thirty-eight seconds off of the pace of the new race leader. His team leader, Thymen Arensman is another two seconds behind that.
