Jasper Philipsen does it again to take third victory in four days at the Tour of Turkey

Jasper Philipsen has won stage 4 of the 2023 Tour of Turkey after a bunch sprint finale, his third stage win at this year's edition of the race.

Nico Denz was the last attacker out front but when he was caught with around 13km to go, the BORA - hansgrohe man was reeled in by a rampant peloton. With the pace remaining high on the final climb and descent, none of the attacks and counter-attacks could properly snap the elastic meaning a bunch sprint would decide the day.

In the finale, despite looking as if he was boxed in, Jasper Philipsen was able to power through and take himself a third stage win at this year's race.
