PREVIEW | Tour of Turkey 2024 stage 3 - Can Welsford or Jakobsen survive hilly day to fight for win; or is Max Kanter the man to beat?

From April 21st to 28th, the Tour of Turkey unfolds as one of the longest stage races on the cycling calendar, traversing a substantial part of the country. This event offers diverse opportunities for riders of all disciplines. Here's a preview of the upcoming race.

As we read in cyclinguptodate.com, stage 3 from Fethiye to Marmaris is another hilly day, which starts off with four steep ascents where a strong group can go up the road. A day marked by the short and steep climbs. It shouldn't be crucial for the overall classification, but can lead to a very interesting day of racing where many riders can fight for the win.

*** Sam Welsford, Max Kanter
** Tobias Lund Andresen, Giovanni Lonardi
* Sasha Weemaes, Danny van Poppel, Fabio Jakobsen, Henri Uhlig, Simon Dehairs, Davide Ballerini, Iuri Leitão, Rory Townsend, Enrico Zanoncello

Pick: Sam Welsford
