Tour of Turkey 2019 – Stage 3 [LAST 20 KM]

April 18, 2019

Tour of Turkey 2019 – Stage 3 – Çanakkale – Edremit : 122,6 km

Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey (Turkish: Cumhurbaşkanlığı Bisiklet Turu) is a professional road bicycle racing stage race held annually in Turkey. From 2006 it was rated as a 2.2 event, before being upgraded to 2.1 in 2008, and then to 2.HC for the 2010 edition.

Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck – QuickStep) basted the opposition to gobble up stage 3 of the Tour of Turkey. The Dutchman beat Sam Bennett (Bora hansgrohe) and Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) to the line in Edremit.

Maximiliano Richeze provided a strong leadout for the winner, bringing him to the front inside the final 300 meters after the rest of the Deceuninck team had controlled the peloton as they raced into the finale. Cavendish was well placed but was forced to come around Richeze as he opened his sprint, while Bennett was unable to produce a sprint that had netted him the first two stages. Jakobsen had to survive a late scare when a race flag from the side of the road hit him during the sprint but he stayed upright and capped another excellent day for the Belgian team. Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) finished in fourth. In the overall standings, Bennett remains in the leader’s jersey.

“Without my teammates this win was impossible,” Jakobsen said at the finish. “This is a victory for them. Okay I do the sprint but they bring me into position. Max was my last man and he brought me into position with 200 meters tog It was a slightly uphill sprint and even a Turkish flag couldn’t stop me . I just happy that I won and can take home the victory.”

The stage break was formed when Victor Langelotti (Burgos), Urko Berrade (Euskadi), Umberto Marengo (Neri), Lindsay De Vylder (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), Ahmet Örken and Feritcan Samli (Turkey) attacked. They built up a healthy lead but with so many strong sprinters in the field the result was inevitable.

They break were eventually caught with 20km to go as QuickStep and Dimension Data did most of the work. The result provided further proof of Cavendish’s improving health and fitness with the British rider picking up his best result in almost a year. He was well placed in the sprint but was forced to come around Richeze on the left side of the road and check his sprint as he did so.
