The German team had a fruitful tour, with
Ide Schelling taking the second stage victory and Sergio Higuita emerging as the top rider in the fifth stage. “It was also great that we picked up two stage wins, and I'd like to thank my teammates for their tremendous support the whole week. Our performance here has given me a lot of confidence for the next races.”
Jens Zemke, the Sports Director of the team, shared his positive thoughts on the team's performance. “Sergio rode a particularly strong race and on the last climb it looked like he could make it onto the GC podium, but in the end, several dropped riders who were ahead of him in GC came back. Overall, we can be very satisfied with our week here, especially with our second place at GP Indurain and then the stage wins taken by Ide and Sergio,” concluded Zemke.
