On the final day of the five-day tour, Emil Herzog only just missed out on the stage win in second place. Emil was part of the breakaway group throughout the day, which ultimately sprinted to victory with a minimal lead over the field. At one point, the 21-year-old even tried to go solo. At the finish line, he was only half a bike length behind the winner.

Meanwhile, there was nothing left to play for in the overall standings. The team remained in control at all times during the short but challenging 95 kilometres from Bétera to Valencia. Remco and Giulio were always on their guard, so that the first and third places in the final result remained unchanged. With Aleksandr Vlasov in seventh place, a third professional from the team also made it into the top 10.
"It was a super good week that started well with Arne on second place," said Remco, who was celebrating his fifth win of the season. "And day by day weg get better, finishing lot of stage in the front. Now we are first and third in the final GC. It was an amaizing week in Valencia."

In general we did more than we could ask from the riders. we could have asked of the riders.
And Klaas Lodewyck, Sporting Director of the team during the race, alsWe are really happy with the way the Boys defended the Jersey today. First and third - Yellow and White. After Yesterday it was an objective to keep both. Especially after the time Trial that didn't count for GC, there was a little setback. But we won it and the guys kept the Moral very high. The fact that Emil was in the breakaway today wasn't really planed but it turned out well. In general we did more than we could ask from the riders. we could have asked of the riders."
