It should exit the tape at the bottom of the bar, moving inside the rear cable, making a perfect curve down to the caliper's cable entry. More like this.

Very cool bike, and that bar tape is freaking awesome here.
Cable routing must be fixed as mentioned above.

I normally don't like splash bar tape but that is perfect on your Team. Great job!
