Such a waste, that he has to ride in 95% of his races as lead-out rider for Jakobsen.Tobias Lund Andresen takes his first win
Wait they used Babadağ last year? OMG that is the hardest climb on Turkey bar none, I would say even harder than this gravel climb: https://forum.cyclingnews.com/threads/gravel-climbs.33485/page-2#post-2434909Not that same MTF of last year?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That's a great stage design. That area has lots of untapped potential for mountain stages. I would love to see a Tour of Turkey on Race Design Thread by one of the regular users there by the way.Ah, Kalkan. I had a stage idea for around there.
It looked like this:
First climb there is the main one in the real stage, then they follow the coast road whereas I go over a mountain to get to Kalkan then have a loop with the final climb.
I think I also designed something similar for my last stage of 7 day Tour of Turkey-Marmara that I posted here I believe, although it seems I may have used a different side for one of those climbs ( can't view my stage because Cronoescalada got hacked and all those designs got deleted because of that a while ago and I didn't save it). Had used a gradual MTF at Uludağ the stage before I believe.I had a nice idea what one could do with the diffent sides of a brute of a climb like Kartepe

last time they did this finish there wasn't too much of a selection, and Cav won.Thursday's stage 5 is from Bodrum to Kusadasi, 177.9 km, start at 10.54 CET and TV from 13.30 CET. A chance again for the break or a reduced bunch sprint.
Surprised almost nobody sent any decent climbers here. Langelotti, Cepeda and Harold Lopez being the big favourites in a European(-ish) 2.Pro race is extremely underwhelming.Kinda surprised that Bardiani did send at least one better climber to this race to score some easy points, but I guess it's all about the Giro.
“This is unbelievable. We went for Fabio today, but it was a very hectic final and he finally told me that I could sprint. I took the lead in the sprint and suddenly the line was there, I almost forgot to cheer. It was really a shock,"
How is that 'not surprising'?According to PCS, 43 km done and not surprisingly no one wants to go off in the break. With a classic hockey stick profile, the action will all happen when the guys reach the base of Spil Dagi.
Climbers will wait to the climb and everyone else will take it easy as they're not going to bust a gut today.How is that 'not surprising'?
