"It feels like a dream at the moment" - Tobias Lund Andresen sweeps Tour of Turkey sprints clean
CyclingSaturday, 27 April 2024 at 14:57
Tobias Lund Andresen had shown great legs so far this season but is truly having a breakthrough at the Tour of Turkey. Team DSM-Firmenich have won again, and it was the Dane's third win of the week.
This came as a result of another powerful sprint where he was above the rest of the competition, where Fabio Jakobsen was also conservative and let his teammate hunt the triumph in an unexpected way. “Fabio was behind my wheel and I was in the wheel of Bram, everything was going perfectly and according to plan. Fabio told me he got a bit squeezed and that I had to go for it," he said in a post-race interview. "I hoped that Fabio was in my slipstream and could come around me in the end, but when you get so close to the finish then you have to secure the win and finish off the good teamwork from the guys."
The Dutchman seemingly did not sprint however, and Andresen beat to the line TImothy Dupont and Manuel Peñalver. A week of domination for DSM. "This is really crazy to have five wins in seven stages and be leading the GC, everything is going right for us and we have a lot of momentum, it feels like a dream at the moment."
With one day of racing to go, Andresen will once again be a big favourite for the win in Istambul. However, the team will also prioritize defending Frank Van den Broek's GC lead. "GC is also a priority for us as well as the sprints. This morning everyone was trying to jump in the break to go in the break so they could get some bonus seconds, so we were all jumping to control that, even Fabio controlled a few attacks. A GC win here for us with Frank would also be massive. We’ll definitely give it our best tomorrow to go for it again," he concluded.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
