Elia Viviani rises with a perfect burst of energy! After a long drought lasting since October 12, 2023 (first stage of the Gree-Tour of Guangxi), the Verona rider returns to victory in the seventh stage of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkiye, the Selçuk-Çeşme. Protagonist of a comeback typical of a long-experienced sprinter, Viviani overtook Alexander Kristoff (Uno X Mobility), Davide Persico (Wagner Bazin WB) and Matteo Malucelli (XDS Astana Team) signing an all-Italian finale.

After the classification battles in previous days, the race is heading towards its conclusion with a weekend for sprinters. From ancient Ephesus, 140 riders officially start, and after 15 km, eight riders break away: Valerio Conti (Solution Tech Vini Fantini) Marton Dina (Euskaltel) Jelle Vermoote (Wagner Bazin) David Lozano (Novo Nordisk) Adne Van Engelen (Terengganu) Oliver Mattheis (Bike Aid) Mustafa Tekin (Spor Toto) and Willie Smit (China Glory) who consolidates the white jersey of the flying sprints. After long staying around 4 minutes ahead, the breakaway is caught with 7 km to go. Tomorrow's grand finale will be the Çeşme-İzmir (Karşıyaka) of 105 kilometers.
