The race: Here's the report from GC winner Wout Poels' Team XDS Astana.

The Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye came to an end today in Izmir. On the final stage, Matteo Malucelli of XDS Astana Team sprinted to victory, adding to the team’s three previous stage wins (Lev Gonov – Stage 3, Wout Poels – Stage 4, Harold Martín López – Stage 6).

“I really wanted to win here. I was close on the first stage, and yesterday I was not far off either. Today, everything worked out. This is my second win of the season after my stage victory at the Tour of Hainan, and I’m not planning to stop here. I’m happy to finally be riding for a WorldTour team after so many years — I believe I earned this opportunity and I’ll do my best to make the most of it”, – said Matteo Malucelli.

Wout Poels secured overall victory in the General Classification and also won the best climber’s jersey.

“It’s fantastic to win the GC at such an important race. The whole team worked incredibly hard to get me onto the final podium with the trophy in hand. We had an amazing race — several stage wins including today’s by Matteo, strong control on the climbs, first and second place overall, and the mountain classification. There was great chemistry between riders and staff, strong support, and as a result — a big success for all of us. Since joining XDS Astana Team, I’ve felt part of a family, and now the wins are coming. We’ve earned important WorldTour points. I think this was a perfect week heading into the Giro d’Italia”, – said Wout Poels.

The final GC podium, from left: Martin López (2nd), Wout Poels (1st) & Juan Guillermo Martinez (3rd).

Harold Martín López completed XDS Astana Team’s dominance at the Tour of Turkey by finishing second overall.

“I’m very happy with the result we achieved here in Turkey. I’ve worked hard to get into this kind of form, and everything has gone in the right direction since returning from injury. One of the key factors was definitely the team’s support. This race came together perfectly for us — stage wins and overall success. The atmosphere was great, our X-LAB bikes performed amazingly, and we showed we can win in both sprints and mountains. I’m incredibly proud to be part of XDS Astana Team”, – added Harold Martín López.

Stage 7 map & profile

Elia Viviani (far right) wins stage seven.

Plato's dialogue Apology is available in both Kindle eBook & audiobook versions. To get your copy, just click on the Amazon link on the right.

Weather at the finish city of Çeşme at 3:15 PM, local time: 21C (69F), sunny, with the wind from the north-northwest at 18 km/hr (11 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: Victor Vaneeckhoutte (Lotto) did not start.

Here's the report from stage winner Elia Viviani's Team Lotto:

Elia Viviani (36) delivered a masterful sprint to win stage 7 of the Tour of Turkey, marking his 90th race win. “For me this is a very special feeling. It’s the first win in quite some time and the first one with Lotto”, he says satisfied.

The start city of Selçuk is very close to the ancient city of Ephesus. Here, before the start of the stage the classification leaders pose in front of ancient ruins.

In stage 7 of the Tour of Turkey, Elia Viviani showed off how his experience can continue to lead to victories. Despite a crash in the final kilometer that disrupted the peloton, Elia managed to navigate through the chaos, sprinting to a magnificent win. The whole team worked extremely hard to get him through the last kilometers. “I would like to thank the whole team for their major efforts. Especially Jasper De Buyst with his amazing lead out. He launched me in a perfect position and at a perfect speed”, he says gratefully.

Early in the stage.

This victory adds up to Elia’s impressive list of achievements, marking this as his 90th race win of his career. “For me it is a very special feeling. It’s the first win in quite some time and the first one with Lotto.”

Yet, Elia and the rest of the team stay focussed on what is still to come: “We came here with the goal to win races & I feel responsible for that too. We remain focussed for tomorrow because we might have an opportunity there as well for the team. We really needed this victory today so I hope we can continue the flow.”

Weather at the start/finish city of Selçuk at 3:15 PM, local time: 20C (68F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the north at 17 km/hr (11 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Harold Martin Lopez's Team XDS Astana.

The second summit finish of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey (Stage 6) brought yet another brilliant 1-2 result for XDS Astana Team. This time it was Harold Martín López who took the stage victory, while race leader Wout Poels followed closely in second place.

López launched his attack with about one kilometer to go, opening a small gap that was enough to secure the win. Wout Poels counterattacked from the group of favorites and crossed the line just three seconds behind his teammate.

Stage six gets started.

“I’m truly happy to take the win today. I worked really hard to get back into form, especially after the crash in Australia at the start of the season, which forced me to take a long break. I’m thankful to the team for the support during that tough time, and I’m glad I was able to return to racing in March at Milan–Turin, then Volta a Catalunya and the Tour of Hellas. Today, our main goal was to defend Wout Poels’ leader’s jersey, and I think the team did everything possible to achieve that. I’m grateful they gave me the freedom to go for the stage win in the final kilometers. It all worked perfectly — I won, and Wout finished second. We’ll enjoy this a little today, but then we’ll refocus to finish the job on Sunday”, – said Harold Martín López.

After Stage 6, Wout Poels retains the overall race lead, with Harold Martín López in second place, 16 seconds behind his teammate. Poels also leads the King of the Mountains classification.

The stage podium, from left: Wout Poels (2nd), Harold Martin Lopez (1st) & Johannes Kulset (3rd).

“I think it was a great day, the team controlled the race 100%, both the breakaway and the attacks later on. In the final, we played our cards again: this time Harold went, and he got the win, while I kept the leader’s jersey. The whole team is in great shape, and there’s a fantastic atmosphere and understanding among us. It’s nice to reflect that in our results. I’m happy with how things went, but we won’t relax having two more stages to go”, – added Wout Poels.

Weather at the finish city of Aydin at 3:00 PM, local time: 19C (66F), rain, with the wind from the west at 8 km/hr (5 mph).

The race: I received this note from the race organizer: "Due to rain, wet road conditions, and the increased risk of crashes, the Commissaires Panel held a meeting with team and rider representatives and decided cancel the stage.
The 60th Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye will continue tomorrow, May 2nd, with Stage 6 : Selçuk - Selçuk."

Here is the official notice: "Official statement: Stage 5 is canceled. Due to rain, wet road conditions, and the increased risk of crashes, the Commisaires Panel held a meeting with team and rider representatives and decided to give a neutral start at 10:40. It was also decided to neutralize the race up to the Treasures of of Turkey Sprint at kilometer 71.2.

"However, as the rain intensified, and with rider safety the top priority - particularly considering the potential risks in the upcoming downhill sections - the decision was made to cancel the stage. The 60th Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye will continue tomorrow, May 2nd, with Stage 6 : Selçuk - Selçuk."

Results: None, Stage canceled.

A soggy Wout Poels take a solo win in Akyaka

Bill & Carol McGann's book The Story of the Tour de France, 2021: The Little Cannibal Dominates is available in both Kindle eBook & audiobook versions. To get your copy, just click on the Amazon link on the right.

Weather at the finish city of Akyaka at 3:00 PM, local time: 17C (63F), rain showers, with the wind from the southwest at 8 km/hr (5 mph). The rain is forecast to continue throught the day.

The race: Here's the report from winner Wout Poels' Team XDS Astana.

XDS Astana Team achieved a brilliant one-two result on Stage 4 of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye – the queen mountain stage with a summit finish atop the 9-kilometer Akyaka-Kiran climb. Wout Poels claimed the stage victory, while Harold Martín López secured second place.

Both XDS Astana Team riders launched attacks from the favorites group a few kilometers from the summit. When only a few riders remained in contention, Wout Poels attacked again, this time going solo to take a nice win. Harold Martín López counterattacked in the final kilometer, dropping his rivals and finishing second.

The Queen Stage gets started under threatening skies.

“I think it was a really good day, and the team performed at a high level – especially considering the tough and dangerous conditions, with very slippery roads due to the rain. The team did everything to keep me and Harold out of trouble. In the finale, I was still with Harold in the lead group, so we had the opportunity to play two cards. I managed to go clear and take the win, and it's great that Harold was able to follow it up with second place. I'm happy to bring this victory to the team. This year I joined XDS Astana Team, and I'm really thankful for this opportunity to show what I can do. So yes, it was a great day – if we forget the rain”, – said Wout Poels.

“I'm very satisfied with our result today. After my crash in Australia, I’ve managed to get back to a good level, and I’m improving from race to race. Today Wout was the strongest, and he deserved this win. But I’m also happy to support it with my second place. After our training camp on Teide, we've built good form, and now we're ready to defend our GC positions on the upcoming stages”, – added Harold Martín López.

Weather at the finish city of Marmaris at 3:30 PM, local time: 24C (76F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the west at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 10% chance of rain.

The race: All 160 stage two finishers began stage three.

Here's the report from fourth-place Giovanni Lonardi's Team Polti-VisitMalta:

A sublime stage for Team Polti VisitMalta on the third day of the Presidential Tour of Turkiye, with Lonardi’s 4th place in the sprint that allowed him to wear the green points jersey thanks to yesterday’s second place. Huge work of the whole team to control and launch the Italian sprinter.

The control of the peloton and the confidence in the sprinter Lonardi: The plan was clear and the riders of Team Polti VisitMalta faced with determination the challenge of raising their arms. Everything went perfectly, controlling the attacks, protecting the sprinter and coming out to attack in the final part, as did Diego Pablo Sevilla.

The peloton arrives at the finish city of Marmaris to begin a loop and come back to the finish.

Already in the final part, the bunch worked to perfection with Mirco Maestri leaving the lead and just 200 meters from the finish line to a Lonardi who started with all his strength, was able to sign the 4th position and wear the green jersey as leader of the points classification. A prize and reward for the good team work that should continue in the opportunities presented by the race.

Giovanni Lonardi: “We were close to victory. I think we started a bit far away, because there was a headwind that made the sprint very long, but we were able to finish fourth. It’s a pity because it was a great opportunity to win, but we’ll keep trying”.

Giovanni Ellena, sports director: “The team work has been very good, we have achieved the regularity jersey and we have to highlight the attitude and mentality. Raising our arms is not easy, but we will continue to fight for it”.

Tomorrow the race faces its queen stage, with a short 115 kilometres but a climb in the central part and the top finish at Akyaka (Kiran) with more than 10 kilometres of ascent and gradients of more than 10% to decide the overall classification.

Tibor del Grosso gets his first professional win and becomes the new GC leader.

Weather at the finish city of Kalkan at 3:10 PM, local time: 22C (72F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the southwest at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 5% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from second place Giovanni Lonardi's Team Polti-VisitMalta.

When the sprint gets tough, the tough start sprinting. Giovanni Lonardi claimed second place on the second raceday of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye, in a fast but slightly uphill finish. Team Polti VisitMalta helped keep the five breakaway riders under control (caught with 56 km to go) and contributed to a key selection, with Pablo Garcia supporting the pace set by Tietema Rockets and the rest of the squad protecting the leaders in the peloton.

In the finale, the 28-year-old sprinter followed De Buyst’s (Lotto) wheel, overtook him brilliantly and was only beaten by Del Grosso (Alpecin).

Lonardi: “It’s always tricky to read this finish. This time I found a good position and came very close — Del Grosso came through at the last moment with great legs. I’ll definitely try again tomorrow, on the same stage I won last year…”

Sports Director Giovanni Ellena: “In these cases, you feel both happy and a bit disappointed. We are pleased with the team’s cohesion, with how we’re handling the short climbs and with having secured a strong result — having a rider in second place both in the general and points classification.

Weather at the start/finish city of Antalya at 2:50 PM, locla time: 21C (69F), sunny, with the wind from the southeast at 13 km/hr (8 mph). There is an 11% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from Team Picnic-PostNL:

The first day of racing at the Tour of Türkiye saw the peloton take on a predominantly flat route; starting and finishing in Antalya. Team Picnic PostNL set out their stall early into the day with Jacob Bush setting tempo at the head of the bunch behind the breakaway, as the team looked to ultiamtely set up a sprint finish with Casper van Uden in the finale.

The stage was going smoothly for the team until a small crash at 30 kilometres to go saw Van Uden and last lead-out rider Bram Welten go down, but both were able to re-mount and return. From there, the team grouped up and set up their lead-out at the front of the bunch. Positioned well from ten kilometres to go, the sprint train moved up right to the fore ahead of the last corner with roughly one kilometre to go.

Unfortunately, Niklas Märkl slid out around the turn which also held up Welten, meaning Van Uden headed into the deep finale on his own. The pace went out from ahead of him and when those that came from behind did so with speed, Van Uden tried to jump onto the wheel but the difference was too much; with the team unable to compete for a top result on the day.

Van Uden said: “It was a bit of a bumpy start today at the Tour of Türkiye, hitting the deck with 30 kilometres to go. We rode a strong final as a group, but made a mistake in the last corner which cost us in the end. We’ll learn from it and come back stronger in the next days and build on the good things we did today!”
