The former Tour de France winner began the day in sixth place in the overall standings, 20 seconds behind the overnight leader Jan Christen (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), but thanks to a dominant performance in the time trial, Vingegaard took the overall victory in his first race of the 2025 season.
Vingegaard completed the time trial with the fastest time of 28:25 with an average speed of 41.4kph to beat his teammate and runner-up Wout van Aert by 11 seconds while Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) finished 14 seconds back in third place.
In the overall standings, Vingegaard claimed the win 14 seconds ahead of runner-up João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), who finished sixth on the stage, and 23 seconds ahead of third-placed Laurens De Plus (Ineos Grenadiers), who finished eight in the time trial. Almeida and De Plus hung on to their podium places in the overall standings, while Christen slipped down the rankings to 10th overall.
"I'm, of course, very happy. It was a very good day for me, for the team," Vingegaard said after his win. "Of course, I'm very happy to take the overall victory and take the revenge from the other days. So, of course, I'm super happy and proud. My daughter said earlier today that I had to win today, so that gave me extra motivation to win for her."
"It was a very nice TT. I really enjoyed it today. I always like TTs like this and, of course, it also suits me well and it depends on if you have good legs or not. If you don't have great legs then it's not a nice TT, and can feel like the opposite. Today I had great legs and I'm happy to finish it off," he added.
"I'm feeling good and happy to do very well today. I think I did a very good time trial. I'm happy, proud and looking forward to the next part of the season."
