Our riders stayed united throughout the race, positioning well in the sprint stages and remaining attentive during the more selective days. The final time trial proved decisive for the overall standings, rewarding consistency and precision.

Xabier Mikel Azparren delivered a strong and steady performance across the five stages, securing a Top 10 finish in the General Classification. His consistency throughout the week reflects both individual strength and the collective effort of the team.

Overall, the race provided valuable kilometres, important benchmarks, and encouraging signs for the weeks ahead. We leave Bessèges with confidence and motivation as we continue building towards the next objectives of the season.
