Tour of Turkey: Eduardo Sepúlveda wins queen stage and takes over lead

Drone Hopper - Adroni Giocatolli have gotten a strong win at today's stage of the Tour of Turkey as Eduardo Sepúlveda flew into a strong win which has put him in pole position to conquer the overall classification.

Inside the final climb to Spil Milli Park, with 14.2 kilometers at 7% average gradient, the moves came quickly as Arkéa pushed the pace but Quintana seemed to still be feeling the effects of the opening days' crashes. A flurry of attacks came early on in the tough gradients but no-one managed to make a decisive attack until Eduardo Sepúlveda made a dig with 4.5 kilometers in an easier section of the climb.

As Patrick Bevin paced for most of the final kilometers, no-one in the group had the legs to bridge across to the front, and Sepúlveda took a brilliant win in the queen stage of the race and took over the race lead.

15 seconds after Patrick Bevin arrived in second place, first in the group sprint beating Harm Vanhoucke.
