On the double stage day the team was looking to avenge for losing the yellow leaders jersey on Friday's mountain stage in Lichnov. Amialiusik put in a strong time trial performance on the out and back flat circuit. "I tried my best today. My power was good and I was strong but I didn't take enough seconds out of the yellow jersey."
Mieke Kröger held the fastest time for most of the day, and ultimately would finish in 6th position. While British rider Hannah Barnes started to show her time trial consistency by finishing 8th, and 26 seconds behind the winner. Elena Cecchini finished just outside the top ten.

The afternoon stage was won solo by Pernille Mathiesen. CANYON//SRAM Racing were launching several attacks and the break that would stay away had Barbara Guarischi representing. Cecchini summed up the race "It was a frustrating race because we saw that the other teams chased us rather than making BTC Ljubljana do any work. Everyone was racing for second or third."
