Clare Leaver showed superb form with a fantastic solo win in the Stage 3 road race and 2nd place in Stage 2.
In addition, Elena Eggl (of the German team Bike-Aid), who was unofficially riding with the team, won both time trial stages and finished third overall.
In the final stage, a hard-fought time trial on the Zebbug Bypass, Iona finished in 2nd place, 6 seconds behind the winner, leaving her in 2nd place on GC. This is the fourth consecutive year that Iona has finished the Tour with a place on the podium. Finishing in second place was an excellent result, given the increase in strength and depth of this year's much larger field. Chapeau!
Final GC: Iona 2nd, Steph 7th, Clare 9th.
Fantastic results all-round. Big thanks to Steve and Klaus (Bike-Aid) for their support.
