Weather at the race city of Ankara at 3:35 PM, local time: 9C (49F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the northeast at 24 km/hr (15 mph). There is a 71% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from GC winner Sebastian Berwick's Team Caja Rural-Seguros RGA.

After eight days of cycling across the Anatolian Peninsula, Team Caja Rural-Seguros RGA clinched the overall victory at the Tour of Turkey this Sunday—ten years after their previous win—courtesy of Sebastian Berwick. The Australian held onto his slender lead right to the finish, aided to perfection by all his teammates, thereby sealing the team's third triumph of the season.

The final stage featured a concluding circuit in Ankara designed to determine the ultimate winner. The five-second margin with which Berwick entered the day demanded maximum concentration from the "Green Team" to avoid any scares or potential splits in the peloton. Every teammate gave their absolute all to prevent mishaps and ultimately secure the victory.

This success was built upon the second-place finish the Australian achieved on the grueling summit of Feslikan—where he crossed the finish line utterly exhausted and claimed the race leader's jersey—as well as his second-place finish at Kiran, the other uphill finish of this Turkish tour.

All of this was complemented by the consistent presence of Fernando Gaviria and Stefano Oldani—who finished 7th in the final stage—during the mass sprints, where both were regular fixtures in the top 10 and came close to claiming victories.

Sebastian Berwick: “I am very happy; it was a great day in which the team did a fantastic job, constantly controlling the race on what was a very chaotic day. I am incredibly happy for the entire team; we all did a great job and truly deserve a victory like this. I think this is a wonderful way to wrap up the first half of the season, and I’m really looking forward to tackling everything that lies ahead. We need to keep following this positive trajectory so that even more successes will follow.”

Weather at the start city of Antalya at 3:20 PM, local time: 22C (72F), showers in vicinity, with the wind from the southeast at 8 km/hr (5 mph). The rain is forecast to end around 3:45 PM.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Christian Bagatin's Team MBH Bank CSB Telecom Fort.

ANTALYA — Feslikan, Stage 6 of the Tour of Turkey — The positive momentum continues for MBH Bank CSB ​​Telecom-Fort: following two third-place finishes by Davide Persico and a fourth-place finish by Alessandro Fancellu, today brought a victory for Christian Bagatin—a 24-year-old from Varese making his season debut with the MBH Bank CSB ​​Telecom-Fort team.

The victory came on May 1st, and Bagatin rode the stage like a true workhorse, dedicating himself to the team's cause before finding the winning spark on the demanding Feslikan climb. Although the pre-race favorites were the pure climbers, Bagatin—who weighs 73 kg—managed to execute the day's strategy perfectly, joining the breakaway and holding on all the way to the finish line.

This marks the Varese native's first professional victory, as well as the fourth win of the season for the Italian-Hungarian squad.

Also noteworthy is the 9th-place finish of Alessandro Fancellu, who crossed the line 1:54 behind the winner; thanks to points gained at the intermediate sprint and his strong overall performance, Fancellu now sits in 6th place in the general classification, currently led by Sebastian Berwick (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA).

Thus concludes a triumphant day for the team led by Team Manager Antonio Bevilacqua, Gábor Deák, the D’Aprile family, and Zoltán Bebto. Congratulations to everyone for their excellent collective effort. QUOTES — Christian Bagatin: “I still can’t believe it; it’s incredible. It was a difficult race to read: initially, I joined the breakaway to support the work of Alessandro Fancellu—our GC contender—but then I realized that the peloton behind wasn't closing the gap anymore. On the final climb, I heard my DS, Orlando Maini, cheering me on; I thought about all the sacrifices I’ve made, and the support from my girlfriend and my teammates. It was crazy. I want to give special thanks to Antonio Bevilacqua, who welcomed me into the team three years ago, as well as to Gábor Deák and everyone else working on this project.”

Alessandro Fancellu: “Well done, Christian—he rode really strongly. I tried to play my cards right on the final climb, but the others were stronger; as for the top 5, I think that battle is pretty much decided now.”

DSs Orlando Maini and Davide Martinelli: “We feel immense satisfaction over the stage win and Fancellu’s strong performance. This is a high-level race, and we’re playing a starring role in it; today’s results give us a huge boost of motivation for the upcoming stages. We hope it doesn’t end here—our sprinters are in great form.”

Finally, Antonio Bevilacqua offers his comments: “This is a victory we really needed, and it brings us a sense of calm. It had been in the air for a while, as we’ve performed very well so far with Persico, Budzinski, and Fancellu; however, winning is never easy, and actually pulling it off feels absolutely wonderful. I am very pleased, and I’d like to congratulate the guys out in Turkey.”

Casper van Uden wins stage five.

Weather at the finish city of Kemer at 3:40 PM, local time: 22C (72F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the southeast at 8 km/hr (5 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: Here's the report from fifth-place Daio Balletta's Team Polti-VisitMalta.

Another stage, another sprint, another top-10 for Team Polti VisitMalta at the Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkiye! On Stage 5, the last climb both brought back the ten breakaway riders and created a strong selection in the peloton: Fernando Tercero, Dario Giuliano and Dario Igor Belletta managed to stay in the main group. The latter, alert in personally neutralizing a subsequent attack, set up the sprint by skillfully positioning himself between the Astana and Picnic trains, finishing fourth (best Italian) in the sprint won by Van Uden. It’s Polti VisitMalta’s second consecutive fourth place following Manuel Peñalver’s result yesterday.

Sports director Francesco Gavazzi: “There wasn’t a moment of calm and the riders managed their effort well, then Belletta did a great job combining endurance with a strong turn of speed. Overall we’re pleased with how our young riders are performing on a demanding course, which will be even tougher tomorrow with the long and hard ascent to Feslikan.”

Stanislaw Aniolkowski wins stage four

Weather at the finish city of Fethiye at 3:35 PM, local time: 26C (79F), fair, with the wind from the southwest at 10 km/hr (6 mph). There is just a 4% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Stanislaw Aniolkowski's Team Cofidis.

The Polish rider Stanislaw Aniolkowski pulled off a spectacular sprint performance, winning by a whisker in Fethiye. He capped off a superb stage for Team Cofidis, which remained active from start to finish to position him for success. This marks the Pole's first victory in three years—a win he used to deliver the team its sixth triumph of the season.

Yet, he had launched his move from deep within the pack in the final meters. Stanislaw Aniolkowski unleashed an incredible effort in the closing stretch in Fethiye, catching all the other sprinters off guard. Only the Canadian Riley Pickrell was able to withstand the Pole's offensive—though not quite enough to take the win. The moment he crossed the line, Stan was free to exult, throwing his arms in the air before being mobbed by his entire team in celebration.

His victory is, in essence, a victory for the entire collective. Throughout the day's stage, Team Cofidis was omnipresent—setting the pace and ensuring their sprinter was placed in the absolute best position to strike. Stan, too, is rewarded for his own efforts, having come so tantalizingly close to victory on several occasions this season: 4th at the Tour of Oman (Stage 4), 6th at the Bredene Koksijde Classic, and 4th at the Tour of Bruges. Earlier this week in Turkey, he had already distinguished himself by taking 5th place on Stage 2. The Pole has finally reaped the rewards of his hard work—his first victory since 2023.

Stan thus becomes the fifth Cofidis rider to raise his arms in victory this season. Thanks to this collective performance and that decisive attack, the squad continues to ride the wave of positive momentum established since the start of the season. Within the team, there is now just one motto: do whatever it takes to keep this streak alive—by winning again!

This was a close one.

Stanislaw's reaction:
"I am truly overjoyed. It’s true that I’ve been waiting for this victory for a long time. I’ve often finished in the top 10—even the top 5—but I just wasn’t winning. Today, the team did a fantastic job; my teammates put me in the best possible position for the finale. But more broadly, I’d like to thank the entire team for believing in me and for their support. As for me, I always believed in myself, I always worked hard, and I never gave up. I’m thrilled to finally see that hard work pay off!"

Weather at the finish city of Kiran at 3:30 PM, local time: 20C (68F), fair, with the wind from the west at 3 km/hr (2 mph). There is just a 1% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from second-place Sebastian Berwick's Team Caja Rural-Seguros RGA.

True to his customary approach to climbs, the Australian Sebastian Berwick completed a magnificent ascent of Kiran, the decisive finish of the third stage of the Tour of Turkey. It was a 9-kilometer climb featuring very sustained gradients with an average slope of 10%—a stage that settled the first of two key days for the general classification of the Turkish tour.

Caja Rural-Seguros RGA took charge very early on, controlling the front of the peloton to set a strong pace and protect their main mountain assets. Fernando Gaviria, Javier Ibáñez, Stefano Oldani, and Gorka Sorarrain were tasked with keeping José Félix Parra, Abel Balderstone, and Sebastian Berwick well-positioned right up to the start of the final climb, where it became the climbers' turn to shine.

Building his effort gradually—even ceding several meters in the initial section relative to a group of favorites where Parra was setting the pace in pursuit of Iván Sosa—Berwick steadily regained ground. He moved into second place near the final kilometer, closing a gap of more than half a minute on the Colombian rider, to finish just 9 seconds behind the stage winner and thus secure that same position in the general classification, 13 seconds adrift of the race lead.

Sebastian Berwick: "The team did a really good job today. They took responsibility on the flat sections, with Gaviria controlling the attacks and positioning right from the start, while the rest of the team set the pace on the climbs. I think second place is a good result, even though we weren't able to cap off all that collective effort with a victory. We hope to achieve that in the sixth stage, and that it will help us secure the overall general classification on the final day."

With five stages still remaining, a significant portion of the general classification in this Tour of Turkey is expected to be decided on Friday during the sixth stage, which will culminate in the grueling, lengthy ascent to Feslikan. Berwick (2nd) and Parra (10th) will tackle this challenge well-positioned among the leaders, provided they navigate the finishes in Fethiye and Kemer beforehand without incident.

Weather at the finish city of Marmaris at 3:45 PM, local time: 27C (81F), fair, with the wind from the west at 10 km/hr (6 mph). There is just a 4% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from third-place Cesar Macias' Team Burgos Burpellet BH.

Burgos-BH took the podium at the start of the Tour of Turkey thanks to a strong sprinting performance by César Macías. The Mexican sprinter finished third in the bunch sprint that decided the second stage of the race in Marmaris. The 22-year-old managed to fight for a prime position within the peloton during the final kilometers—aided by his teammates—and launched his sprint to secure the bronze medal for the stage. This result allows him to climb to fourth place in the general classification and fills him with motivation heading into upcoming stages in Turkey that may also be decided in a sprint finish.

The "Purples" were able to redeem themselves after the previous stage, in which Macías got boxed in and was unable to contend for the stage victory. On this occasion, the Mexican benefited from an excellent lead-out by his teammate Vojtech Kmínek, who helped him reach the front of the pack. The group had strung out on the day's final short climb, where Adrián Fajardo accelerated the pace; however, most of the sprinters were able to hold on to the group or rejoin it on the subsequent descent. The Burgos-BH squad successfully avoided a crash that occurred in the final kilometer, and César unleashed his speed to finish third in Marmaris.

César Macías: “It was a slightly tougher stage than yesterday, and that suited us a bit better. We were expecting a reduced sprint—one involving a smaller group—because we anticipated that some riders would get dropped on the final climb. We tried to push hard on that climb with Faura and Fajardo to make the ascent as difficult as possible and force a split in the field. About 30 riders crested the summit together, and although a few others managed to rejoin on the descent, it wasn't quite the same. People were already 'cooked' [exhausted], so it turned out to be a slightly different kind of sprint—one that was more favorable for us. The final 20 kilometers were tough; it was crucial to stay at the front, have the legs for it, and be quick in the finish.”

The sprinters will step aside this Tuesday, ceding the spotlight to the climbers for the first major mountain stage of the Tour of Turkey. Cyclists such as Aparicio, Kudus, and Faura will attempt to secure a strong result on the uphill finish at Kiran (9 km at 10%). This grueling ascent will bring to a close a 133-kilometer stage that begins in Marmaris. The riders will make a first pass near the finish line midway through the race, climbing via a longer, 18-kilometer approach featuring initial gradients of up to 10%.

Weather at the finish city of Selçuk at 3:40 PM, local time: 27C (80F), fair, with the wind from the west at 8 km/hr (5 mph).

The race: Here's the report from third-place Davide Persico's Team MBH Bank CSB Telecom Fort.

SELÇUK (TUR) — An excellent 3rd-place finish goes to the MBH Bank–CSB Telecom–Fort team in the opening stage of the Tour of Turkey, which concluded today in a sprint finish following the 148.7 km Çeşme–Selçuk route.

Securing the result was Bergamo native Davide Persico, who was edged out in a crowded sprint by Tom Crabbe and Simon Dehairs (Alpecin–Premier Tech). Persico confirms once again that 2026 is a comeback year for him, having already claimed a victory and several podium finishes.

"It was a thrilling finish," recounts Davide, "featuring all the top sprinters, so finding the right position wasn't easy. For me, it was crucial to secure the best possible position within the final 3 kilometers: there was a U-turn right there, and it would have been very difficult to recover if you got boxed in."

There was no shortage of challenges. "Everything went smoothly until the 2-kilometer mark. That’s where I lost some positions, so it became essential to move back up through the pack. It wasn't easy, but we managed to get back to the front and secure this result. It’s a great outcome that allows us to get off to a strong start in the Tour of Turkey—a prestigious race that awards a significant number of points."

The race will now present further opportunities for the sprinters, while Alessandro Fancellu will focus on the General Classification following his strong performances in Hainan.
