Well we miss out on sprints again. So not the well rounded race we thought we were going to get.
However, Garby pulled us through. We complete that top 5 goal and then some! very happy with that! Plus we get 2nd on GC, 2nd in Points, and the KOM and White jerseys. We leave here taking the 2nd most amount of points, and while I always want to win, it's nice that we've at least gotten our season back on track a bit.
And of course, thanks to The Rider for the absolutely tremendous reporting job! It takes a lot of time and effort to do these long stage races and the reports never lacked a single line of quality!

Weirdest ai in the final kilometers I've seen in months. Congrats to everyone who got decent points out of this and once again huge thanks to The Rider for his tireless effort!
Well, I'm quite pleased with that. Stage win, one podium, two top tens, polka dots for nine days, decent haul- good job, that.

Really enjoyed this box set of a ramble in the middle east - a real CT classic stage race, nice to get that GT feel and a thrilling GC fight really and some nice stories evolving.
Personal highlight is seeing Adam Semple a guy developed in our first season at Red Bull still relavent. De La Cruz you always suspected would be a good buy and so it has proved great win.
Thanks very much to The Rider. 3 Stage wins, which is amazing. Sadly no jersey, although we had the leaders jersey for 2 days and the points jersey for some as well.
Besides that, I really enjoyed the reporting. Very well done!
