With this, Iúri manages to add a total of 125 UCI points, leaving a total of 163 that the team has to date.

Iuri Leitão“I am very happy with what we have achieved. These five days have been a lot of fighting, but we have shown that we are a very strong team and that without everyone's help this would not have been possible. Despite Aaron Gate's bonus in the intermediate sprint, we were confident that we could recover in the final sprint. At the last level I was well accompanied by two companions so as not to spend a lot on arrival. When I started I was able to cover the small gap that was there and although I couldn't win the stage, the general is very important for me and for the team”.
