Former time trial World Champion Tobias Foss took his first victory in 575 days and his first for a trade team on stage 1 of the Tour of the Alps, admitting after that he never saw himself as a specialist for the time trial.
The Norwegian said he has long been trying to refind himself as a leader for the general classification at the biggest races. It’s something he achieved at the highest level as a junior rider having won the Tour de l’Avenir in 2019, but he never quite found the consistency after turning pro with Jumbo-Visma in 2020 despite taking ninth at the Giro in 2021.
