We didn’t bring any rider for stage 1 so seeing Quispe in the break was the best we could hope for there. Stage 2 saw Gregoire in the break and also in a later attack where he was joined by Gautherat and Katrasnik. This led nowhere but was still our best chance to get something from the stage. Brunel lost quite some time but stayed within reach for a GC top 25 result. But that hope was far off in the end as he finished 49th in the GC.

Stage 1 saw Quispe in the break and he secured all the intermediate sprints to end the day as shared 2nd in the GC. Arrieta tried his luck in stage 2, but the bigger news there was Vauquelin losing quite some time. The last two stages were completely anonymous and left us with only minor points.

This race was all about breaks and the final epilogue. Quispe and Arias Villanueva were on break duty in stage 1 and secured some bonus seconds. Katrasnik did the same in stage 2. Those three did try their luck again over the course of the next two stages, but apart from some bonus seconds that weren’t of any use in the end it was fruitless. We didn’t make the break in the fifth stage, so it all came down to Kopfauf in the epilogue.
