Stage 17 | Mountain stage - 180 km

There were not much action between the main favourites in the final high mountain stage until the last climb. However, Télecon Team imposed a high pace during most of the day, which avoided that a successful breakaway could be formed.

While it was not a calm climb for leader Ulrick Vandenhof (Télecon Team), he could see as his main rivals, Svarnan Amit Mallaya probably paid the effort of the previous day, while Keszarian Adam Sandor (Velomax) couldn't continue in the main group after the first attacks. Mallaya lost forty seconds to the Soyabarian climber while Sandor arrived three minutes after the winner of the stage.

Vandenhof had the help of his teammate and 1599 Tour de Valland winner Roman Herzogenrath, and would end losing only three seconds to  Jevgenijs Kalnins (Magram) and eight seconds to Nylander Zachariah Nordfeldt (Vançotte).

Svarnan climber Rahul Bhattacharya (Baagh Cycling) found no opposition after leaving behind Nerysian Godomar Guur in the final kilometre and won his first individual stage in the Tour de Valland.

With only one individual time-trial left, Vandenhof seemed to have consolidated his victory in Lauren as he increased his lead in the general classification to Amit Mallaya to three minutes and fifty-nine seconds, while Ceribian and 1598 Tour de Valland winner Pharnavaz Undiladze (Bagdati) was third at four minutes and forty-one seconds.

Stage 18 | Flat stage - 223 km

The eighteen stage was rather calm for the peloton and it was decided in a mass sprint.

Vallish sprinter Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) defeated Mordvanian Miroslav Gradishar (Iskra) and Florinthian Quentin Symonds (Dido-GDC) to win the stage and decide the Points classification.

Stage 19 | ITT - 23 km

The last 23-km individual time trial was expected to at least decide both the podium and the Youth classification.

Galeaen time-trialist Erik Persson (Yetech-Druzhberg) won the stage, while his countryman and teammate Sebastian Leifsson finished second, only four seconds behid Persson.

It was a relatively clam final ITT for Ulrick Vandenhof, who lost forty-five seconds to Pharnavaz Undiladze (Bagdati), who did a better time-trial that expected to easily climb to the second position in the general classification at three minutes and fifty-six seconds.

Svarnan Amit Mallaya (Abbott Cycling) lost the second place in the podium for only three seconds, finishing third at fifty-nine seconds.

Ceribian Irakli Maisuradze (Magram) consolidated his lead in the Youth classification, increasing it to more than three minutes to Kyrzbekistani Damir Zagipur (KyrzAir).
