Although the Swiss champion sprinted to a third podium finish in second place in the fourth stage, he still had to relinquish the leader's jersey to the French stage winner Axel Laurance.
Laurance overtook Schmid in the overall standings thanks to the bonuses. The previous day it had been the other way around, with Schmid finishing ahead of Laurance thanks to the extra seconds he had gained. The duel between the two will enter its final round on Sunday. The final fifth stage leads over 165.5 kilometers from Cormons to Gemona del Friuli.
