Team PRSs first tour wasn’t a huge success, however, with good experience gained across the 6 stages,
1: The prologue was a massive surprise with 3 of the top 12 positions being PRS leadout riders, leaving Donald in 6th overall.
2: A bit of a disappointment in this stage as Idefonso only came in 12th. However, the overall times were not affected.
3. Not much was expected of this stage with so many mountains but Kendrick woke up feeling in the mood and although he couldn’t contest the final sprint found himself in 24th for the stage leaving him in 16th overall.
4: Again a very climbers orientated stage and Team PRS manager found idefonso in defiant move having seen his vice captain monster the previous stage he decided to have a go on the day and although couldn’t pull himself around with the very top boys sprinted away from his little group and finished an unbelievable 18th overall for the day. However, enough time was lost on the day to knock everyone out of the top 20.
5: The second ITT of the tour was a big climb and this was always going to be a struggle unsurprisingly the best TTer of the team Sten came out with the best result finishing in 36th, which was actually his best personal result of the season.
6: The only real hope of any OCM points in the tour came down to the final day, however, despite a good ride by all Idefonso came in just outside the points in 10th place, this left everyone well down in all classifications.
Rider report
Idefonso: Out shone by others in the team in lesser events and failed to produce proper form in specialist stages - *
Kendrick: Good result in initial timetrial and one climbing stage but poor leadouts for the captain - ***
Donald: Very similar to Kendrick, surprise points in TT but LO left a lot to be desired - **
Hugo: Good all round but could do better - **
Jasper and Sten: Very much in as domestiques in this tour good work but not enough info to rank the riders.
