The fifth stage of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye, the Marmaris-Aydın of 151 kilometers, has been canceled due to bad weather: already yesterday the "queen stage" culminating with the climb of Kiran (and the XDS Astana double with Wout Poels and Harold Lopez) was wet with rain, this morning continuous precipitation and strong wind led the organization to neutralize the first 71 km and subsequently decree the cancellation.

The 144 riders still in the race therefore made an unofficial start, with the prospect of pedaling behind the race direction car until the official start and from there to ride 80 km of racing, but after a quarter of an hour they were definitively stopped. Safety issues made even more necessary by the fact that today there would have been a lot of descent and, most likely, a sprint finish.

They'll restart tomorrow with the Selçuk stage, which will be decided with the climb to the Virgin Mary's House of the Virgin Mary and will constitute the last useful opportunity to attempt an assault on the GC, given that during the weekend the sprinters will instead be called into action. We recall that the turquoise leader's jersey is currently held by Poels, the green "points" jersey by Giovanni Lonardi (Polti VisitMalta) and the red mountain jersey by the multi-time Turkish national champion Ahmet Orken (Sport Toto).
