- race Report
Carlos Rodriguez confirmed a seventh place finish overall at the Tour de France following a hard-fought three weeks.
The young Spaniard made it three top-10 Grand Tour finishes in a row as he completed the final time trial in Nice. With the 17th fastest time, Rodriguez continued to show consistency at the sport's top level as he gains experience.
Laurens De Plus also put in a strong ride across the 33.7-kilometre course, moving up to 15th overall at the end of three weeks.
Despite not being able to pull off an elusive stage win, the team rode well for each other as a unit across the 21 stages. Former race winners Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal used their experience to help the team in key moments, while both Michal Kwiatkowski and Tom Pidcock came close to breakaway stage victories. Jonathan Castroviejo was a dependable as ever, and for Ben Turner it was a first finish in the sport's biggest race.
The final stage saw Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) rack up a sixth stage win, confirming overall victory in the process. Jonas Vingegaard Visma | Lease a Bike) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal - Quick-Step) rounded out the podium positions.
🗣️ "It's a process towards the future. We gave our best out on the road. We can can't ask for more."
