CyclingSunday, 27 April 2025 at 12:21
Alpecin-Deceuninck's Simon Dehairs has sprinted to the win on the opening stage of the 2025 Tour of Turkey in Antalya.
Eight riders got themselves into the breakaway of the day. Among them, were three local Turkish riders, but with the peloton never really allowing a gap any bigger than two minutes, any hopes of a stage win never really looked realistic for the attackers. With 15km to go, the catch was finally completed by the peloton and all attention turned towards the imminent bunch sprint finale.
In that sprint for the line it was then Simon Dehairs who prevailed in a close sprint ahead of Matteo Malucelli and Jules Hesters.

- Don’t think so, same story all over the world. The only way the wrong peop’e get too much money is if it’s not left for others, often more deserving. Eternal paradox of capitalism, screw and squeeze workers/consumers/the poor/weak to enrich those who least need it.Mistermaumau23-05-2025

- Everyone can have a bad moment in the mountains, but no-one seems to know why nobody has good moments anymore. Are the team strategies so effective that no-one (except Pog and Vin) dares to go on an atrack that could gain minutes instead of seconds?Mistermaumau23-05-2025
