Definitely one of the most brutal attacks in recent years!

 

[Roude Leiw]

Simon Yates ftw

I am expecting a lot from him, showed good results in quality fields in the spanish WT races. Considering the thinnish GC field here, a good showing is possible

 

[therhodeo]

Keisse's stage last year was one of the best performances in a long time. Great stuff.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The sprinter line up:

Cav
Greipel
Bos
Guardini
Viviani
Modolo
Kruopis
Wippert
Chicchi
Napolitano
and the biggest of them all: METLUSHENKO

(I may have missed some)

 

[Pricey_sky]

Simon Yates ftw

Good shout, im hoping he can make a good impression here with a slightly reduced quality GC field.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

First race of the year for JuanJo?

no

...............

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Should be fun as usual! Will turku finally give us a winner we can believe in?

they are part of bio pasposort so more believable

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Good shout, im hoping he can make a good impression here with a slightly reduced quality GC field.

1800m is more Adam's territory.

 

[Michele]

He's ready..

[manafana]

really liked this race, has some good mix of stages and lets us see the b team climbers do battle for a win.

Pity about the oppressive regime though

 

[elfed68]

Mustafa 'Big Ring' Sayar to dominate GC!

I did not watch the Tour of Turkey that year, I'd never seen this. That was amazing! I can only imagine what people were thinking watching this live. Thanks for sharing!

There are no stages anywhere near the Syrian border.

I guess half of them miss the cut on Stage 3, that climb half way through is a killer.

 

[jens_attacks]

He's ready..

juanjooooooooooooo!

he deserved so much better but i just hope he found some calm environment for his mental health. probably this is the only week with some pression

There are no stages anywhere near the Syrian border.

The stages are pretty much identical every year, I doubt that they ever made a stage on the east part of the country

 

[argyllflyer]
