The Spanish ProTeam landed the race's biggest prize through Sebastian Berwick. Rather than chase the early lead on the Kıran summit — where they ceded the jersey to Sosa — they backed their climber to peak on the queen stage, and the plan paid off precisely: Berwick attacked on Feslikan, took second on the stage and the turquoise jersey, then was defended flawlessly by the team across the final two days, including controlling the flat Ankara finale to neutralise any late danger to a five-second lead. Berwick added the mountains classification, and Fernando Gaviria chipped in with a top-five on the Stage 7 circuit. A complete, well-managed overall victory.

Kern Pharma's Iván Sosa was the man who made the race. The Colombian climber took the first summit at Kıran to win the stage and the leader's jersey, and defended it through the sprint days, but was undone on the steeper slopes of the Feslikan queen stage where Berwick distanced him. Five seconds was the final margin — agonisingly close. Marc Brustenga added top-tens in the bunch finishes. An aggressive, front-foot campaign that fell just short of the overall.

The Belgian Continental team was the revelation of the sprints thanks to 20-year-old Tom Crabbe. He won the opening two stages back-to-back to lead the race early, then closed it out with a hat-trick-completing win on the flat Ankara finale — a third victory that also clinched the points classification. The lead-out work, with Stefano Oldani launching the final sprint in Ankara, was sharp all week. Three WorldTour-quality sprints from a young rider on a small team marked Crabbe as one to watch.

The Japanese-registered team took a place on the final GC podium through Kamiel Bonneu, who climbed consistently across both summit finishes to finish third overall at +59s. He was never quite at the level of the Berwick-Sosa duel up front, but he comfortably outlasted the rest of the GC field on the decisive mountain days — a strong, reliable week that delivered the team a podium.

The French ProTeam placed both of its GC cards in the top five, Jordan Jegat fourth and Nicolas Breuillard fifth, with Breuillard taking third on the Kıran summit and Jegat third on the Feslikan queen stage. They were aggressive on every climbing day and consistently in the GC mix without ever quite threatening the podium positions — two top-fives the reward for an all-in mountain campaign.

The Hungarian Continental squad grabbed the headline stage win of the week: young climber Christian Bagatin survived from the breakaway to take the queen stage at the Feslikan summit, the biggest result of his career, on the very day the GC was decided behind him. The team was also visible in the sprints (Davide Persico twice on the podium, Marcin Budziński second on Stage 5) and placed Alessandro Fancellu in the GC top ten. A standout week for a small outfit.

The WorldTour squad's veteran classics man Davide Ballerini won the punchy Stage 7 circuit in Antalya and finished fifth on the final day, while the team's collective depth — Ballerini and Henok Mulubrhan both prominent — carried it to the overall teams classification. A productive Türkiye for the strongest-billed squad in the field, even if the GC was contested by smaller teams.

The French WorldTour team's fast man Stanisław Aniołkowski won the reduced bunch sprint into Fethiye on Stage 4 and added third on the final stage in Ankara, the high points of an otherwise quiet GC week. A stage win and a couple of sprint podiums was a solid return for a team that came primarily for the bunch finishes.

The Dutch WorldTour squad took its stage through sprinter Casper van Uden, who won the longest day of the race, the 180.7 km coastal stage to Kemer. It was the team's marquee result of the week — a clean sprint victory on a day built for the fast men.

Alpecin - Premier Tech were repeatedly second-best in the opening sprints, Simon Dehairs taking second on Stage 1 and Sente Sentjens second on Stage 2, both beaten by Crabbe. Consistently fast but unable to convert, the WorldTour team left Türkiye with placings rather than a win.
