Bob Jungels (Deceuninck-QuickStep) added his sixth Luxembourg national time trial title on Thursday. The test was one of the few remaining national championship events on the calendar after many countries opted to cancel because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Jungels, champion in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019, put 45 seconds into Trek-Segafredo's Alex Kirsch, with Kévin Geniets (Groupama-FDJ) a close third on the 21km rolling circuit.
