The first stage of the Tour of Turkey due to snow canceled

The first stage of the Tour of Turkey cycling, scheduled for this Sunday with a route of 167.3 km in the center of the country, was canceled as a result of a heavy snowfall.

“Stage 1 between Nevsehir and Urgup has been canceled due to heavy snow,” the event organizers tweeted.

Therefore, the race will start on Monday with a 144.9 km stage with the start and finish in Konya (center).

Much of the interest of this week-long race (now from April 12 to 18) is the return to competition of the Danish Fabio Jakobsen (24 years old), eight months after the accident that could cost him his life in the Tour of Poland. when his compatriot Dylan Groenewegen closed him in a sprint against the protective fences.
