Tour of Turkey has some of the best camera work in sprints (by not cutting too much) which makes this race good to watch despite the mediocre routes.

looks like Aniolkowski was sprinting with parts of the advertising (or a Turkish flag?) somehow attached to him.
edit: it was a flag indeed. But he only picked it up with 20m or so to go

This seemed like the perfect race for Picnic to win a stage with Van Uden, but they haven't even come close in these two stages. This team is a complete disaster this year.

Crabbe has all the makings of a future top sprinter for me. Super impressive to have four victories already in April riding for a smaller PCT team like Flanders.
Picnic's problem is they have been to close to the front with 3 or 4kms to go. They are better to step back and really attack the last 1km with 2 or 3 support riders.
Someone on the front for Red Bull, my quality is terrible, could be Paule Fietzke or Remco Evenepoel

Didn't realise it was a bora devo rider, he was very fast, he and remco could make a top sprinter + leadout pairing for 2027
He's wearing the 2025 Tour de Suisse Joao Almeida kit, the one where he looked boiling and we all spent the entire race saying he looks like he's about to bottle it.

Have to hand it to the Tour of Turkey. They have pulled out some serious climbs over the last few years.
Kiran is back on the route this year. 9km at 10% gradient.
They have another monster on the route 21km @8% gradient. Harder than Ventoux.
And let's not forget the beast that was Babadag in 2023. 18km @10% gradient. A genuine contender for the hardest cycling climb.

Has been some time since we saw some very good sprint talents coming through. But Crabbe and Magagnotti both have some serious pace and could become big names in the future.
Magagnotti might be even more impressive as as first year U23 racer. But Crabbe might have a lot of room for improvement left as well considering his career trajectory so far.

Yeah fair enough. I forgot about Magnier because as a junior he seemed very talented, but not necessarily as a sprinter. Then once he turned pro he was there as a sprinter.
But he should be counted as a top-sprinter coming through yes.

Stage 3 in Turkey today:
Well, Crabbe ain't winning this one, but who will? Jegat perhaps.

Seems i overlooked so many riders that my post can be classified as absolute bullsh*t 😁
