The Presidential Tour of Turkey will take place from the 10th to the 17th of April. The eight-stage stage-race will come along in a period of the spring where most races that can be targeted by the sprinters are behind the peloton, hence it still attracts a strong field of fast men as it provides them aswell with a host of opportunities. Being a past World Tour race, it still brings in a strong startlist every year, and there will be a very interesting mix of teams at the start.
The final startlist includes the following riders: Sam Bennett, Danny van Poppel, Itamar Einhorn, Thomas de Gendt, Caleb Ewan, Harm Vanhoucke, Kaden Groves, Cees Bol, Alberto Dainese, Jakub Mareczko, Jay Vine, Jasper Philipsen, Nacer Bouhanni, Dan McLay, Nairo Quintana, Sacha Modolo, Eduard Prades, Giovanni Lonardi, Mihkel Räim and Manuel Peñalver.
