'It's been eight days completely full gas, we created actions, we believed every single day, and we stayed humble,' Longo Borghini said after the race. 'And I can't be much more thankful to my teammates than now, because if I wear this jersey now, it's because of them. 'They were super committed, they were never surrendering, and I'm just speechless.' Movistar collected the most stage wins over the week with three, ahead of AG Insurance-Soudal (2), Team SD Works-Protime (2) and Lidl-Trek (1).
