Yeah, it was totally fun to watch, never expected this sort of climbing, Turkish organizers have rather opted for the more scenic route in previous years, and the race went more along the coast. This is a breath of fresh air, and maybe an invitation for a stronger field next year.
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

I'm proud to be bulgarian,it was huge success for our country.
I hope Danail Petrov to be in the squad of Caja Rural for Vuelta.He will be the first bulgarian practicing in some of the Grand Tours. |

Just saw the photo finish. It was literally a matter of millimetres.

It was actually a really entertaining final 50km's. The last climb Greipel sacrificed himself for Adam Hansen, that was pretty cool.

Not this year because of the African Cup of Nations, hosted by Gabon (and Equatorial Guinea).

It's Bretagne, not Brétagne.
You can trust me on that one.

A monster sprint from Modolo in Turkey sees him win the stage.
And Goss second... again. Renshaw third.

Felt so sorry for Battaglin when he was caught, he really deserved the win, but Modolo made it two days in a row for Colnago, Well Deserved |

Yeah I was cheering for Battaglin. Colnago are having a great couple of weeks with their results here and with Pozzovivo in Trentino.

Don´t cheer for Colnago, Goss needs your support to finally win a stage there.
