Stage 5 - April 18: Kalkan - Finike, 100.1km
Bis repetita for Priamo and Dapena
By Jean-François Quénet in Finike, Turkey
 |
The wonderful landscapes of the south coast of Turkey keep making this race unique every day although the results are starting to look pretty much the same each day. CSF-Navigare took its third stage win in a row, and the second one by Matteo Priamo while Karpin-Galicia's David Garcia Dapena kept his lead with two days to go.
The shortest stage of the Presidential Tour of Turkey actually became easier to control than expected by the wearer of the yellow jersey. On the start line of the charming harbor of Kalkan, he realized that it was a very windy day on the coast with a ten kilometers long climb to cope with in the early part of the stage.
"There were many attacks but so many different people attacked that they neutralized each other and they made the tactic easier for us," the Spanish leader of the Turkish Tour explained. "Later, when Saunier Duval worked for the king of the mountains prime, it also exempted us from working. And at the end, Milram and Lampre rode for their sprinters, so I just had to keep three of my team-mates around the front of the peloton for staying safe. I'm very happy with how things went."
The end of the stage was a failure for the two giants of the race, indeed. Milram and Lampre tried to bring the breakaway back as they wanted to build a bunch sprint for Alessandro Petacchi and Mirco Lorenzetto, respectively, but they never closed the gap to the seven leaders although Petacchi was looking good at the end of the stage after suffering during the first part. The sprinting star had spent some time off the back, and his fatigue gave Priamo the opening he needed..
"When Petacchi got back on in between two hills, I realized it was the right time for breaking clear," Priamo explained. "When our group comprised seven riders, we all worked very well together. At the end, it was logical that one of the Astana riders would sacrifice himself for the other one. But they opened the sprint too early. I knew there was a head wind and it was necessary to be patient before sprinting. I waited for the last 150 meters."
 |
It was a well-executed strategy, and Priamo launched himself to victory with a powerful sprint, holding Gabriele Missaglia to a bike length. Astana's Assan Bazayev settled for third ahead of Dries Devenyns, while Francesco Reda pulled his left foot out of the pedal in the sprint and finished fifth.
Astana couldn't be happy with losing the stage with two riders out of seven. Gregory Rast led out the sprint for Bazayev but the young Kazakh didn't have enough power left. "This is only my second race after the Three Days of West Flanders," a disappointed Bazayev explained. "I started training in January after being sick in December."
Priamo was once again the happy man. "I'm more than happy with what I've done here in Turkey so far," the Venetian underlined. "I might try to break away again but I must first see how the legs go. At CSF we also want to get a stage win for our sprinter Maximiliano Richeze."
How it unfolded
 |
Most of the 125 riders who started stage five in Kalkan were highly motivated for the early skirmishes, but the head wind on the magnificent Mediterranean coast prevented them from going clear.
An acceleration by Jakub Danacik (PSK-Whirlpool) and Nazareno Rossi (Serramenti PVC-Diquigiovanni) split the bunch in two parts. Sixty riders formed the first group. The first king of the mountains prime at km 36.7 was dominated by the Saunier Duval of José Alberto Benitez, who consolidated his lead in this classification as he passed in first position ahead of his team-mates David Cañada and Rubens Bertogliati.
Very quickly after that, four riders formed a breakaway: Dries Devenyns (Silence-Lotto), Assan Bazayev (Astana), Gabriele Missaglia (Serramenti PVC-Diquigiovanni) and Matteo Priamo (CSF-Navigare). Ten kilometers further, they were reinforced by Gregory Rast (Astana), Josu Mondelo (Extremadura) and Francesco Reda (NGC Medical).

At the second king of the mountains prime (km 57), Priamo preceded Mondelo and Bazayev. The bunch back in one piece was 2'01" behind the seven leaders. Mondelo won the Turkish Beauty Sprint (km 73.8). Milram and Lampre decided to chase with the idea of getting a bunch sprint win for Alessandro Petacchi and Mirco Lorenzetto respectively. The gap went down to 1'22" just 23 kilometers before coming to Finike. It was 1'16" with 13.5km to go but still the same with three kilometres to go to the finishing line.
Priamo sprinted 150 meters before the line and kept an advantage of one length of a bike over Missaglia. The bunch finished 1'11" behind. Petacchi won the sprint for eighth place. David Garcia Dapena (Karpin-Galicia) stayed in the lead on GC.
