Edward Theuns takes the final stage.

The race: Here's the story from stage winner Edward Theuns' Trek-Segafredo team.

Edward Theuns ended his final race with Trek-Segafredo with a victory at the Presidential Tour of Turkey stage six Sunday, finally breaking through the stranglehold Sam Bennett (Bora-hansgrohe) has had on the bunched finishes.

The 144-kilometer final stage ended in an uphill battle where Theuns finally got the better of Bennett in a tricky, technical final kilometer after the Irish sprinter dove into the last corner with high-speed and crashed. Theuns avoided going down as well, recovered, and sprinted to the win.

Theuns explained: "We had a good gap, and it was nice from Sam Bennett that he wanted to take a pull also. Then he passed in the last corner, inside, and I felt he was going really too fast. He crashed right in front of me, I had to brake full, get out of my pedal, get into my pedal again, but then I could go to (Matteo) Pelucchi's wheel and get the slipstream, and I had really a lot of power left in my legs."

After Greg Daniel put in more than a day's worth of work to help control the four-man breakaway, the rest of the Trek-Segafredo team went to work to place Theuns into the top positions heading into the climb to the line.

Sensing an opportunity, Theuns jumped at the bottom with some 1500 meters to go - the steepest part of the climb - and opened a gap with Bennett and his Bora-hansgrohe teammate Matteo Pelucchi.  The three continued to push the pace, with Bennett taking a generous pull before Pelucchi was able to come around to begin a final leadout.

Theuns grabbed Pelucchi's wheel with Bennett tucked in third place. Disaster struck for Bennett when he tried to sneak on the inside of Theuns through the corner with 300 meters remaining, taking an aggressive angle and high-speed into the apex and losing grip on the cobbled road.  Theuns somehow evaded a falling Bennett and easily overtook Pelucchi in the final meters for the win.

"I expected the last climb to be a little bit harder," Theuns continued. "The team did a super great job like they have done all week. They put me right at the front [ahead of the climb]. I had a talk with David Hunter (@Cyclingmole) on Twitter, and he said if you are a legend you go from the bottom," he laughed. "So I was repeating this in my head the whole day, and I saw the moment when we turned on [to the climb] and (Diego) Ulissi was doubting, and I said 'okay, let's go full from the bottom.'"

Theuns and his Trek-Segafredo teammates have been unable to solve Bennett all week, who had pocketed four wins ahead of the final stage today.  But the frustration was only really felt in yesterday's stage five, explained Theuns:

"It was okay the whole week, I knew Bennett was faster in the sprint, but after yesterday when we made a mistake in the finale 200 meters, I was super, super disappointed. So actually, yesterday evening and this morning I wasn't the most pleasant guy to be with. But now this has changed, and I really have to thank the team a lot, and we can have a good party tonight."

It was Edward Theuns' final race with the American pinstriped team. He joined Trek-Segafredo two years ago, his first time racing in the WorldTour, and he gave the team the best possible farewell today - a class act from a classy rider.

"I am super happy it's my last day riding for Trek-Segafredo, and I am really thankful of the opportunities I have gotten from the team," added Theuns. "I had a hard period after my crash in the Tour (de France) last year, and they always supported me, and I came back, I think, to a higher level. I think there's no better way to thank the team than with a victory like this."

Although Theuns won all the applause, Jarlinson Pantano snuck in with a fourth-place finish and leaped into eighth in the GC to cap off a successful final day for Trek-Segafredo.

Trek-Segafredo's hard work all week had finally reaped the benefits: the team ended the Tour of Turkey with a win, three riders in the top 20 in the overall classification, and the green points jersey.

Stage 5 map

Sam Bennett does it again!

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Sam Bennett's Bora-hansgorhe team.

The penultimate stage was an up and down for BORA – hansgrohe but ended with an amazing stage win for Sam Bennett. Shane Archbold was in the breakaway of the day, which was caught 30km before the finish. Leo König and Michael Schwarzmann were involved in a crash, but managed to get back on the bike without any injuries. With only one leadout man, Sam Bennett showed his sprinting skills and took his fourth stage win in the Tour of Turkey.

The penultimate stage at the 53rd Presidential Tour of Turkey covered 166km on a demanding course from Selcuk to Izmir. Two KOM´s (second and third category climbs), one intermediate sprint and one beauty sprint awaited the riders. Unfortunately, Gregor got sick overnight, therefore he couldn’t start today. That´s why the tactic changed and forced our riders to make the breakaway, nevertheless Sam Bennett was focused to keep the sprint jersey and take yet another victory.

Today´s breakaway included BORA – hansgrohe rider Shane Archbold. Together with four other riders, he went up the road and had more than one-minute gap. His teammates stayed behind while team Trek – Segafredo and Team UAE took control in the main bunch.

With 37km remaining the quintet became a trio, but Shane Archbold was still there with an advantage of 45 seconds.

At that moment, a crash in the peloton provided both excitement for the viewers and disappointment for the team as Leo König and Michael Schwarzmann were involved but both were able to get back on the bike having managed to avoid any injuries.

The reduced main bunch caught the escapees 30km before the finish, suddenly the race came alive. Two groups were built, Sam Bennett and Silvio Herklotz were in the leading group following a gruelling climb, but after some kilometres Alex Saramotins was able to join his teammates.

As the race headed into the finale, Sam and Alex formed their sprint train. Sam waited until the final meters and was on the wheels of Alex. As he has already done this week, in the closing metres, Sam broke clear and made it looks easy as he took a convincing win over Edward Theuns of Trek Seagfredo. He sprinted to his fourth stage win at this Tour of Turkey and his 10th this season.

Enrico Poitschke, was delighted about Sam's fourth victory, “What should I say, the day wasn’t easy for us, Gregor was sick, Leo and Michael crashed. But Sam showed once again what an amazing sprinter he is. Alex led him to the finish line and he just flew to his next victory. I'm more than happy for him but also really satisfied with this teamwork, they showed the whole week a great performance.”

Friday, October 13: Stage 4, Marmaris - Selçuk, 205.3 km

Stage 4 map

Diego Ulissi takes the solo win.

The race. Here's the report from winner Diego Ulissi's UAE Team Emirates:

Laengen, Consonni and Niemiec assisted Ulissi as he performed a tour de force for UAE Team Emirates in the 4th and queen stage of the Tour of Turkey, (204.1 km) that took the riders from Marmaris to the uphill arrival in Selcuk.

Diego Ulissi clinched the stage as well as the jersey for leader of the race, coming in 5sec ahead of Hansen, 9sec in front of Martinez, and leaving Masnada 11sec behind. The Italian ace did a great job managing the last 2 km of the race, keeping everything under control and then not ceding an inch to the three riders who managed to keep up with him in the head of the race.

The entire Emirati formation did a fantastic job, with Laengen keeping up an impressively constant pace along the final climb. Consonni was very efficient in pulling the group on the descents and Niemiec (who was subsequently 9th at the finish line) was relentless in picking off adversaries on the first part of the climb as they headed towards the arrival.

In the general classification, Ulissi has a 12sec advantage over Hansen.

“The climb was suited to my skills, this is why the team worked so hard to control the stage and carry me to the last climb in the best possible circumstances. The rhythm on the climb was very fast and this led to a strong selection. I was feeling good and I managed to seal the deal on the work that my team mates had done,” explained Ulissi. “Tomorrow I will wear the classification leader’s jersey; it would be great and gratifying to be able to wear it until the end of the race.”

Tour of Turkey stage 4 map:

---

Thursday, October 12: Stage 3, Fethiye- Marmaris, 128.6 km

That makes all three 2017 Tour of Turkey stages for Sam Bennett.

The race: Here's the report from winner Sam Bennett's Bora-hansgrohe team.

The third stage at the Tour of Turkey was dominated with many attacks on the final kilometres. BORA – hansgrohe was able to stay in the first group and headed into the finale, where Sam Bennett flies to his third consecutive stage win in this year´s Tour of Turkey and will be again the man in turquoise on tomorrow´s fourth stage.

Today´s stage covered 128.6km from Fethiye to Marmaris on a selective course with a second category climb and one intermediate sprint. BORA – hansgrohe started in this third stage with the leaders jersey and tried once again to defend it, whilst Gregor Mühlberger wanted to go for a good GC result in the upcoming hilly stages.

Like yesterday, an early breakaway of three riders distanced themselves clear from the main bunch and built an advantage of more than five minutes. The Peloton took it easy and granted the breakaway. With 41km remaining the trio still had an advantage of more than two minutes.

30km before the finish, the peloton, with BORA – hansgrohe in the front, increased the pace. The breakaway was still in front, with one-minute gap, but with 20km remaining the break was caught. An attack of one rider catered for excitement on the finale kilometres. The whole BORA – hansgrohe team stayed together in the main bunch and tried to catch the soloist. 10km before the finish the race was back together and headed into the finale.

Shortly before the finish, the race had to pass a short climb but in the descent the peloton fell apart with BORA – hansgrohe in the first group. The race headed into the city of Marmaris, Sam Bennett was in a good position and his BORA – hansgrohe teammates dominated the remaining bunch. Sam Bennett took the wheel of his teammates and rode to his third consecutive stage win.

With a smile on his face Enrico Poitschke said, “We had in our mind, that the final climb isn’t too steep and that we can try it again. Before the finale, we stayed in the peloton and started to increase the pace as the breakaway had 5 minutes. In the finale, we waited and made the finale move at the Flamme Rouge, the boys did again a great teamwork. The hattrick is just impressive. Today the guys deserve a glass of Terre di Ger prosecco. Tomorrow will be a summit finish, we will see how the stage will be.”

Tour of Turkey leader Sam Bennett was more than happy after his third stage win. “When the group split, I had the support of 3 of the guys again. It was a technical finish but I came out of the final bend in the perfect position. Delighted with a third victory for the team, the sponsors and to reward the guys for their amazing work.”

Wednesday, October 11: Stage 2, Kumluca - Fethiye, 206 km

Stage 2 map

Sam Bennett wins stage two.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner & GC leader Sam Bennett's Bora-hansgrohe team.

After yesterday's perfect start for BORA – hansgrohe, the team wanted to defend their leader jersey today. The second stage saw an early breakaway and again a bunch sprint, where BORA – hansgrohe sprinter Sam Bennett easily took another stage win. He expanded his lead and will wear the turquoise jersey again tomorrow during the third stage of the Tour of Turkey.

The second stage of the Tour of Turkey took the riders from Kumluca to Fethiye over 206km. This stage favoured the sprinters in the peloton with only two short climbs and again a flat finish. BORA – hansgrohe focused to defend the leader jersey of Sam Bennett.

From drop of the flag the day´s breakaway formed as a trio went up the road and built an advantage of several minutes. The squad of BORA – hansgrohe with leader Sam Bennett stayed in front of the peloton and took control over the race. The breakaway was gone for most of the stage.

With 40km remaining the escapees had an advantage of more than one minute, only 12 km before the finish, the peloton closed the gap and the expected bunch sprint was set up. Sam Bennett´s teammates did a stellar job to protect his lead, spent the day at the front. Especially Leo König and Michael Schwarzmann worked hard to close the gap. Like yesterday, Silvio Herklotz, Gregor Mühlberger, Alex Saramotins and Shane Archbold built the final lead out for Sam.

Next to Trek-Segafredo the BORA – hansgrohe squad headed into the final kilometres, where a tough fight about the best positions started. Like yesterday, Alex and Shane put Sam in a good position. Sam was on the wheels but went out earlier today. He took the victory with a significant gap to his opponents. Sam also defended also his leader jersey and will start the third stage of the Tour of Turkey tomorrow in in the turquoise leader jersey.

Enrico Poitschke, sports director of BORA – hansgrohe was more than happy with his second victory in Turkey, “It was a long day and we had headwind. We were able to control the race especially Leo and Schwarzi did a great job. Everyone was again involved in this victory and Sam had good legs. It is really nice to win two stages in a row and defend the leaders jersey.”

Leader of Tour of Turkey, Sam Bennett said after the finish, "It was another amazing team effort today. We worked well together and it paid off. Really happy with the performance and to be wearing the turquoise jersey. It's always nice to be ending the season on a high."

Tuesday, October 10: Stage 1, Alanya - Kemer, 176.7 km

Stage 1 map

Sam Bennett wins the first stage.

The race: Here's the story from winner Sam Bennett's Bora-hansgrohe team.

The 53rd edition of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey commenced this Tuesday. With its flat parcours, the first stage was expected to be one for the sprinters. The BORA – hansgrohe sprint train put Sam Bennett, the recent winner of the Sparkassen Münsterland Giro, into a good position in the lead up to the finale, where he took out the victory, and teammate Matteo Pelucchi finished in fifth place.

The first stage of the 53rd edition of the Tour of Turkey started from Alanya and led the riders along a 176.7km long flat course to the finish in Kemer. Along the route, the peloton passed through a ‘Beauties of Turkey’ sprint, which was positioned alongside important historical sites, as well as a fourth category climb, and two intermediate sprints.

With the mercury reaching 20 degrees by the middle of the day, the first stage got underway, with BORA – hansgrohe focusing their efforts on Irish sprinter Sam Bennett.

Straight after the official start was given, a group of six riders was able to build up an advantage of several minutes. With 58km remaining, their advantage was whittled down to one minute, with BORA – hansgrohe’s riders, most notably Michael Schwarzmann, controlling the tempo back in the main field.

35km before the finish, Trek-Segafredo increased the tempo, and the breakaway group was reeled back in. With the race being back together, the peloton headed towards the only classified climb of the day, which saw several attacks and attempts to break free of the bunch.

BORA-hansgrohe showed a strong presence at the front of the field, with Leopold König and Trek-Segafredo controlling the race as it headed into the final few kilometres. The BORA – hansgrohe sprint train came to the front of the race, with Gregor Mühlberger leading the charge into Kemer, where there was a crash in the peloton. However, no BORA-hansgrohe riders were involved, and there were no serious injuries to report following the incident.

The reduced peloton set a high tempo into the finishing straight, with Alex Saramotins and Shane Archbold the last remaining riders for Sam. A few metres before the finish, Sam passed through the right hand side to take an emphatic victory. His teammate Matteo Pelucchi took out fifth place. With his victory, Sam will also don the turquoise leader’s jersey.

Enrico Poitschke, BORA – hansgrohe sports director, expressed his excitement with the result of his team at the finish: “We really concentrated on winning the stage with Sam. We were content to let a small group get away, and then we worked with Trek-Segafredo to control the race. Every rider on the team did a fantastic job, and it’s nice to crown this great teamwork with a win today. It’s also a particularly good result for Sam, who notched up yet another victory after a longer break.”
