the new zealand Patrick Bevin (Israel Premier Tech) was declared the winner of the Cycling Tour of Turkey after the eighth and final stage was suspended due to bad weatherwith a route 141.1 km with start and end in Istanbul.
The day, presented with the slogan “Respect for history and nature”, started next to the Ataturk Cultural Center but During their trip of nearly 25 kilometers, an accident occurred in Kuzguncuk because of the very slippery floor due to rain.
The cyclists refused to continue the race and, after returning to the starting point in a neutralized gear, the organization decided to definitely suspend the stage.
Consequently, the final classification of the Tour of Turkey will be the same as for the seventh and penultimate stage. Bevin was declared the winner with 20 seconds ahead of his compatriot Jay Vine (Alpecin-Fenix) and 40 against Argentine Eduardo Sepúlveda (Done Hopper-Androni Giocattoli), who certainly gave up the lead this Saturday.
Bevin won the seventh and penultimate stage as part of a trio of breakaways with Vine and Frenchman Nicolas Edet, who followed, 2 and 4 seconds behind respectively.
Sepúlveda entered the chasing group, 41 seconds behind the winner, and fell to third place in the overall standings, which is now definitive.
This is the second professional victory for Bevin, who has only won one stage in the Santos Tour Down Under (Australia) 2019, more than three years ago.
Mario Aparicio, from Burgos BH, was the best ranked Spaniard, thirteenth with 2:24 behind the winner.
