Stage 13 | Mountain stage - 179 km
Svarnan climber Amrit Mallaya (Abbott) won the 13th stage, a medium mountain stage, repeating victory after his win in 1597. The Svarnan climber defeated Pharnavaz Undiladze (Bagdati) in the final metres, who climbed to the third place in the general classification at one minute at nineteen seconds, and took the Youth classification jersey, as Maisuradze lost time again.
It was a happy day from the team based in the Mandavine Union, as Spencer Grant also cut back time to Husevich, and climbed to the second position in the general classification at one minute and ten seconds.
Stage 14 | Hilly stage - 183 km
The 14th stage was expected to be a perfect stage for breakaway and for teams which hadn't won a stage yet. However, Husevich's Nenergo team surprised everybody with a quick movement that broke the peloton in several groups. They found cooperation in Oslanburg's Scholden-Gulcron and Luft Wurberg. Most of the other favourites would lose between one and three minutes at the end of the stage.

Husevich, who arrived third ten seconds later, and therefore adding another two bonus seconds, consolidated his leadership in the general classification with two minutes and forty-six seconds over Grant and two minutes and fifty-five seconds over Undiladze.
Weatherhead was the one rider highly benefited by Nenergo's tactical move, as he climbed to the fourth place at three minutes and fifty-eight seconds.
Stage 15 | Hilly stage - 201 km
Nylander Derryl Benjaminson (Le Cycle Super) won his second stage this Tour, after defeating Nylander Michael Ahlgren (Anzcell) -who recovered the Points classification jersey- and young Lomarran sprinter Ferdinando Farso-Carino (NDM).
Spencer Grant was involved in a crash -although he did not suffer any phyisical harm- 25 kms before the finish and lost one minute to the peloton, falling to the third place at three minutes and twenty-six seconds behind Husevich.
Stage 16 | Mountain stage - 161 km
The first of the three last (and decisive) high mountain stages arrived on the 16th stage. Husevich's red jersey, with an almost three minute-lead ahead of Ceribian Undiladze, seemed safe enough despite the tough mountain awaiting. However, the Nentsian rider suffered a sudden burnout before the last climb and, despite the help of his teammates, he would end losing more than four minutes against some of his main rivals.
The stage was won by Svarnan Dheeraj Devarukhkar (Baagh) who defeated Vallish Germain Guimard (Vançotte) in the final metres, who were the two last riders from the breakaway.
About ten seconds later arriver Nerysian Godomor Guur (MTS-Biassoni) and Adwestene climber Eden Grace Weatherhead (Scholden-Gulcron).
Guur became the new leader of the general classification, nine seconds ahead of Undiladze, while Weatherhead was at twenty-three seconds. Husevich fell to the fourth position in the general classification, forty-four seconds behind Guur.
