The Irishman Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) has Tuesday the first stage in the wielerronde van Turkey (WorldTour) to his name. Bennett showed himself after 156,7 km between Istanbul and Tekirdag the best in a bunch sprint for the Dutchman, Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck-Quick Step) and the Australian Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal).
The stage, with its two climbs of third category, was colored by a long breakaway of six riders, who with Lindsay De Vylder (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), a Belgian. They drove shortly after the start away from the pack, and gathered up nearly four minutes ahead. 22 km from the end was the unification a fact. Thanks to Remco Evenpoel, that good work won in the service of Jakobsen. Without success so for Deceuninck-Quick Step.
