Team director Maarten Wynants was pleased with the Norwegian’s performance. “A good result with Jørgen today. It’s the confidence boost he needs heading into the upcoming Vuelta.”
Ben Tulett had a tougher day in the finale. The Brit started the day seventh in the general classification but slipped back on the final climb. “It was a bit less for Ben today. He slipped back on the final climb. We wanted to secure a top-10 finish in the general classification, and unfortunately, that didn’t happen,” Wynants said.
Still, the team can look back on the week with a positive feeling. “It was a successful week. We had two wins and a top-10 result for Jørgen in the final stage. We also had several young guys here this week, and they did a really good job. Everyone can take a confidence boost from this heading into their next goals.”
