Mollema is arguably a bigger favorite than both of them for such a race in 2021.As it likely doesn't really need it's own thread, this coming Saturday is one of the small one day Spanish races, GP Miguel Indurain. From reports the two biggest names who are planning/scheduled to be there are Valverde and Carapaz.
I thought you were joking. I actually checked the race result, but Bouhanni did race today. Shame on the UCI, that moron should be banned for months.You had to be a national champion today, as Démare wins La Roue Tourangelle ahead of Bouhanni and Sarreau.

There's a fine line between lesser known, and practically unknown.
You jumped right over that line on a pogo-stick!

Normally the Tour of Turkey is a very sprinter-friendly race so each of them could reasonably have at least a chance. I checked the profiles for this year's edition and it looks a bit hillier than usual but good enough for at least 4-5 sprints. Those profiles tend to be misleading though.Deceuninck Quick-Step will ride the Tour of Turkey with a very sprinter heavy squad:
Jakobsen, Cavendish, Hodeg, Archbold, Keisse and Steels.
It will be interesting to see how they approach the sprints with three guys who could use a 'comeback' win.
Will they ride for Cav and try to have him take his first win in over 3 years? Will they ride for Hodeg and try to have him take his first win since 2019 after all his injury trouble? Or will they immediately ride for Jakobsen which would probably be the biggest comeback story of the three after last years Tour de Pologne?
