"Behind this victory is so much effort, hard work and a lot of support from my girlfriend and family" - Max Kanter finally secures first win at Tour of Turkey

For the first time in his career, Max Kanter was able to celebrate a victory on Monday afternoon at the Tour of Turkey as the Astana Qazaqstan Team star sprinted to victory on stage 2.
“I am really very happy. Behind this victory is so much effort, hard work and a lot of support from my girlfriend and family," the German reflected emotionally in his post-race interview. "I could count on the team's confidence today. They really worked very hard.”
With the team's main sprinter, Mark Cavendish having been dropped, Davide Ballerini turned leadout supremo for Kanter instead in a frantic finale. “Ballerini, who has only just returned from injury, really put in a lot of work. That was really great to see. He may have had the legs to win himself, but he chose to help me," Kanter says. "I always dreamed of this victory, but it had to happen at some point. The previous times something always went wrong.”
“Hopefully this is the start of something very beautiful," Kanter concludes, eyeing a spot on Astana Qazaqstan Team's lineup at the upcoming Grand Tour. "We can also achieve a strong performance in the Giro."

- What!! 5 million for a martinez and a Remco and Vingegaard as well. Something is seriously wrong. Should be 5 mil in 3 years probably.abstractengineer08-11-2024
- Remco could definitely lose a couple kilograms. That would help him a lot if he can keep his sustained power which is likely at his age. Above all else though, he needs support. He would have definitely been second if he had Jonas' supportVeganpotter08-11-2024
- van der poel is, what, 29? probably gonna be looking pretty good for this list by the time he walks away in 5 or 6 years.OCexile08-11-2024
- Jonas will be strong next year, he came into the Tour so lightweight after his injuries in that crash. I feel like he'll be focused and ready to go. That said Tadej is going to be tough to beat but it can happen. Should be a great Tour.awp08-11-2024
- It's going to be a great fight! I hope JV gets there in shape, Pogi aswell! And, I hope the Giro wont be a goal, but the Vuelta instead. Let Wout do his Giro (or Jorgensen as GC he can still do the Tour after or the Vuelta) Then, JV and Pogi, will have a match in both the Tour and the Vuelta! (Given Pogi goes for the Tour-Vuelta this time)Stitz08-11-2024
