The victory of the day in Verona was secured after 17.4 kilometers in a fight against the clock by the Italian Matteo Sobrero ahead of the two Dutchmen Thymen Arensman and Mathieu van der Poel. The best German was Lennard Kämna, 1:31 minutes behind Sobrero in 13th place.
Hindley before Carapaz and Landa
In the end, Hindley was able to hold his ground in front of Richard Carapaz from Ecuador with 1:18 minutes. Hindley had taken the pink jersey from the road Olympic champion and overall Giro winner in 2019 the day before at the Fedaia Pass.
Third place on the podium went to Spaniard Mikel Landa, 3:24 minutes behind. In 2020, Hindley was already the overall leader in the final Giro time trial in Milan, but had to cede the overall victory to the British Tao Gheoghan Hart.
Buchmann best German
The best German overall was Hindley’s teammate Emanuel Buchmann in seventh. Kämna, also from the Bora-hansgrohe team, ensured the only German day victory on the fourth stage of the first major state tour of the year.
