Tibor Del Grosso, a 21-year-old rider from Alpecin-Deceuninck, claimed the second stage of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkiye, showcasing his climbing skills. As the Under 23 cyclocross world champion, this victory marked his first in professional road racing after a strong performance in Spain. His win is significant as it provides his team with their second consecutive stage triumph in the race, and he has now taken the lead overall. Del Grosso emphasized the team's effort and the suitability of the tough course for his strengths.
"It was a good chance and we believed in it. The team worked hard today and it is great to finish it off," Del Grosso said.
"It's a really tough finishing kilometre uphill and with the climbs before it was a chance to drop the pure sprinters. The finish suited me and I liked it."
