PREVIEW | Tour of Turkey 2024 stage 5 - Another sprint expected, but hilly day does not favour Cavendish, Welsford or Jakobsen
Cycling
The Tour of Turkey is scheduled from April 21st to 28th, encompassing one of the calendar's longest stage races and traversing a substantial portion of the country. This event offers opportunities for riders of all specialties. Here's our preview of the race ahead.
As we read on CyclingUpToDate, stage 5 from Bodrum to Kusaddasi is another hilly day where many riders can fight for the win and many scenarios are possible. The day features three ascents early in the day that will set some fatigue; whilst the final kilometers also feature some climbs where attacks are expected.
