This was the ride of Söderqvist's race. On the rain-shortened queen stage's repeated climbs of the Bárány út / Lapis circuit above Pécs, the young Lidl-Trek rider was the strongest of the GC men, attacking on the final ascent to win alone at Pécs Zoo. He put 32 seconds into the next-best climber, Adrián Benito, and over 40 into the rest of the GC contenders including overnight leader Cosnefroy, vaulting himself into the overall lead. It was the decisive blow of the week and the platform for his first stage-race overall victory.

• Attacked on the final ascent of the Pécs climbing circuit to win the stage alone
• Took over the overall lead from Cosnefroy with the stage win

Won the overall on the strength of a single, perfectly timed ride. Söderqvist was kept out of the sprint chaos in the first three days, then produced the move of the race on the rain-shortened queen stage to Pécs: an attack on the final ascent of the climbing circuit that won the stage alone and overturned the GC in one stroke, distancing both overnight leader Cosnefroy and every other contender. Lidl-Trek protected his 40-second margin on the Veszprém finale to deliver him the overall — a breakthrough stage-race victory.

• Stage 4 — attacked on the final Pécs climb to win alone and take the overall lead
• Stage 5 — sat in the protected GC group to defend the lead to the finish
