Euskadi Murias’ Eduard Prades won the Tour of Turkey after finishing second on the 166.7km sixth and final stage in Istanbul today.
The Spanyiard lost out by six seconds to Bora-Hansgrohe’s Sam Bennett on the final stage, who finished in 3:36:28. Courtesy of his second place, though, Prades won the race and managed to leapfrog Astana Pro’s Andrey Lutsenko, who was leading.
Katusha-Alpecin’s Nathan Haas completed the overall podium.
