Tour of Turkey 2022 – Stage – İstanbul – İstanbul : 137,8 km
The Tour of Turkey has proved a fantastic testing ground in recent years for sprinters looking to find their form ahead of the Grand Tours. The race debuted back in 1963 and has slowly climbed its way up cycling’s hierarchical racing calendar, rising all the way up from a 2.2 event in 2007 to WorldTour status in 2017. It has since been relegated however and from 2020 onwards it has formed part of the UCI ProSeries – the second-tier on pro cycling’s racing calendar. The Tour of Turkey has followed an eight-stage format for the majority of its editions and has largely toured the western edge of the country, following the Mediterranean coast north towards the former capital, Istanbul, or south towards the popular tourist destination of Antalya. The mountains they climb here aren’t known for their altitude, rather their length.
