"The time trial is very good for me full throttle": Tobias Foss confident about tomorrows ITT in Volta ao Algarve
Cycling
One of the riders expected to finish with the best in Alto do Malhão was Tobias Foss. The Norwegian rider of Team Jumbo-Visma came a bit short to what was expected. He finished only in the 9th place 21 seconds behind stage winner and new race leader Tom Pidcock.
"It was okay, but I didn't have the best legs today. I just gave everything and all in all I am quite satisfied. In the beginning of the final climb I still felt good, but when Pidcock accelerated for the second time I had no chance. From there it was just riding full speed to the finish", Foss told the Eurosport interviewer.
With this result Foss dropped from the top 10, sitting 11 place overall 33 seconds behind INEOS-Grenadiers rider Tom Pidcock. Tomorrow will be the 24.4 kilometres long time trial in Lagoa the final stage of Volta ao Algarve. A course that suits very well Tobias Foss and the current time trial World Champion knows that.
'The time trial is very good for me, sleep well tonight and then full throttle tomorrow.", Foss remarked about tomorrow's stage 5 of Volta ao Algarve.

- his Roubaix win was amazing. not to take anything away from him - arguably one of MVDP's wins was at the expense of a WVA flat - but so many things need to line up to get one of these. He had a perfect race with fewer bike issues on an attritional course. And crazy strong as usual. Glad he got this done.mij04-11-2026

- A mindset that reminds me of Tim Declerq. I loved watching that guy just pound away the kilometers, hours at the front, holding an entire breakaway in check on his own. Bjerg seems like a similar guy. Curling, the team sport.RidesHills04-11-2026
- He will be lol, but he can still win on the climbs hahaawp04-11-2026
- I would love to have his inconsistency. How many wins this year? 2 TdF stages, a WC, a Euro championship, San Sebastian, multiple wins early year. Monument podiums. I'd take it. I don't think he has a chance in the TdF, but he is still amazing.mij04-11-2026
- He's not going to win the TdF. Maybe if they make every single stage a TT he could win. But I still believe Tadej would just sharpen his TT skills and win.mij04-11-2026
- You beat me to it. Should he make a full recovery (likely) and go light early in the year. One, two, three. Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. Should he be on a Feel-Like-He's-Fixin'-to-Die High.Yepperoni04-11-2026
