What happens when world tour riders come to China to race against the locals and smash it up the local climbs?

I was on the ground poking around to find out what it's really like at this race.

How do the teams manage on this stage race away from home with limited staff and no team bus? Jumbo Visma, UAE Emirates, Cofidis, Bora Hansgrohe, Alpecin-Deceuninck; all these teams show up with the likes of Sam Bennett,Arnaud De Lie, Matteo Jorgenson, Tim Wellens, Rigoberto Urán, and Esteban Chaves amongst the list of heavy hitters.
