Stage 5 | Flag stage - 194 km
Nylander sprinter Michael Ahlgren (Anzcell Cycling) won the fifth stage, after defeating Galeaen Melker Rausing (Yetech-Druzhberg) and Svarnan Chanda Barigai (Baagh Cycling).
Stage 6 | Hilly stage - 161 km
The sixth stage proved almost impossible for the peloton to control, mostly due to the speed of the day and the wind. Although technically the peloton worked hard and achieved that not successful breakaway was formed, the last kilometres were rather chaotic and the peloton broke in several groups.
The main group was reduced to twenty-eight riders. Nylander Zachariah Nordfeldt (Vançotte) tried to surprised with a final attack, but he was defeated by Chanda Barigai (Baagh Cycling) who gave the first victory in the Tour de Valland to his team.
Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) who came in the same main group although finished several seconds behind, continued as leader of the general classification for sixth day. Barigai was now second at seven seconds while Nordfeldt was third at twelve seconds.
Stage 7 | Hilly stage - 170 km
Although not exactly a flat stage, the next stage was easier to control for the peloton. Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) defeated Kyrzbekistani Ilsat Alimur (Iskra) and Ostlander Johannes Rapp (Scholden-Gulcron) in a close sprint to win his fourth stage.
Stage 8 | Flat stage - 236 km
Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) showed once again to the faster sprinter in the Tour, after defeating Christophe Villiers (Anzcell) and Florinthian Quentin Symonds (Dido-GDC) in the final mass sprint.
