Tobias Lund Andresen has powered to victory on stage 7 of the 2024 Tour of Turkey, his third stage win of the race and Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL's 5th!
After the general classification shake-up on yesterday's Queen Stage, just two riders had the desire and the energy to attack early on and form the day's breakaway. Those two riders being James Whelan (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) and Natnael Berhane (Beykoz Belediyesi Spor Türkiye).
Although at one point, the lead duo's advantage had stretched out towards the five-minute mark, as the stage neared a seemingly inevitable bunch sprint finale, that time gap began to quickly disappear. With just under 10km to go, the first of the attackers was reeled in by the peloton as Berhane dropped back. Whelan however, continued on bravely for a little longer but with around 5km to go, he too was caught.
From there, all attentions were fully focused on the bunch sprint finale. There was a crash in the last 2km, as the riders came around a u-turn but at the front however, it was Tobias Lund Andresen who powered to the win, his third stage of the race ahead of Timothy Dupont and Sasha Weemaes.
