Pour la quatrième fois depuis le début de la semaine, c'est un sprint qui a décidé du vainqueur de la 5e étape du Tour de Turquie. Cependant, après les nombreuses difficultés de la journée, c'est un petit peloton qui s'est disputé la victoire, avec de nombreux sprinteurs qui ne sont pas parvenus à rester dans les roues. Ainsi, sans Tom Crabbe (Team Flanders-Baloise) ni Stanislaw Aniolkowski (Cofidis), les précédents vainqueurs au sprint, il y avait une opportunité à saisir pour les outsiders. Et après plusieurs mois de disette, l'équipe Picnic PostNL remporte enfin un premier succès en 2026 grâce à Casper Van Uden, le plus fort sur cette arrivée au sprint. Le Néerlandais soulage donc son équipe et devance Marcin Budziński (MBH Bank CSB Telecom Fort) et Nikita Tsvetkov (Bardiani CSF 7 Saber).

08:501 minute and 10 seconds now but actually the breakway seems to be working really well together
08:55and they've got some real horsepower in there scotland's mark stewart as well also in that
08:59in that move for the modern adventure pro cycling team as we get a sight of the
09:04the group behind and the standard squad putting a lot of riders on or near the front i wonder
09:09what their plan is today mula brahan is close to the front for them he's their best placed rider
09:15on general classification well actually he's not quite the best placed rider he's nikola vinikorov
09:19one of three riders from the astana squad in the top 10 overall mula brahan's gained a few bonus
09:24seconds in the intermediate sprint a little earlier on evan sosa safely close to the front david
09:30ballerini is is going well as this climb starts to take its toll on a few riders in that group
09:38having
09:39a little look across to see what sort of effort is making and well he's asking equipo karen farma to
09:45set the tempo and he's got a rider in the break so maybe thinking well i'm not going to do
09:48it
09:48exactly and that's the kind of thing when you get to the front of the group and you're setting this
09:53pace that maybe he's starting to find a bit tough he's looking for cooperation from other teams and it
09:59looks like it's not really coming for all that the gap has dwindled but the huge chunk that they took
10:08out of the advantage of this breakaway group it was what about a half a minute in the space of
10:13just a few
10:13kilometers on the approach to that climb that has that flow has been stemmed somewhat as we get
10:20another look at one of these impossibly beautiful lycean ports and villages that have sprawled and
10:28mushroomed into major tourist destinations every piece of of rock outcrop seemingly an opportunity for
10:38for development now speaking of development front of the peloton looks like it's getting very busy
10:44indeed ricard still setting steady tempo on the front of this uh of this breakaway group but the
10:49peloton are lurking and there's it looks as if they're coming across to them pretty soon yeah and
10:54total energy are just absolutely lighting it up they've got someone from cairo rail right in their
10:59wheel but they are really putting in an effort to make this climb as hard as possible maybe to
11:04shell out some of the sprinters on this climb and to just keep it a tough tough pace you can
11:09see
11:09the xcs astana henoch mulbran there in in third wheel and he's really grimacing to stay with the
11:15this total energy and uh caro rider yeah counter attack here from the peloton is it uh perhaps shagat
11:22who's decided to launch interesting move really they have of course fabian dubai in the break but the
11:27break looks like it's on borrowed time meanwhile uh mulabrahan and vinukurov trying to make their
11:34way across in the company of the aforementioned jordan jagar so changing personnel in prospect now dubai
11:41has a little look over his shoulder and what does he find out well he sees a teammate about to
11:46arrive so
11:46he's not going to contribute to the pace of that break he's just going to wait a moment
11:49then this will be a useful ally for the fast arriving jordan chicago i think it's chicago at
11:58any rate the man who was 10th in the tour de france in 2025 yeah absolutely it's strength in numbers
12:04once he gets across to that front group and it looks like it's going to happen very imminently
12:09and i think they're going to inject a bit of pace into it as well
12:14rickhart toiling on the front on helen just uh waiting and looking anxious about the arrival
12:20look at this steam train up on the outside jagat has dubai dubai actually is just going to try and
12:27assist this one dubai just took a moment like go to the front the total energy duo putting it up
12:33to
12:33them as this uh peloton also starting to dwindle in numbers quite the fracture and still 1400 meters of
12:40this climb remaining yeah it's completely splitting apart in the peloton i think a lot of sprinters are
12:44going to have been shelled already and it's going to be a real race of attrition coming to the top
12:48of
12:48this climb luckily they do have a long downhill afterwards so it does give a chance for riders
12:53who have been dropped to come back but i think the pace that's being set now is going to do
12:57some real
12:58damage to that top top in power a lot of sprinters are going to be feeling this one for sure
13:02we haven't
13:02seen too much sight sightner sound indeed of late of the uh the green jersey of tom craba
13:08now anilkovski as well sanoslav anilkovski no sign of him so far in this group or lately at any rate
13:15and said you can't dubai put a little daylight between themselves and the the other riders from
13:21the breakaway frustrating a little bit you might say for timo de jong finds himself in no man's land
13:27in between yeah it could be a dangerous duo to let get away these two total energy rider riders up
13:33the
13:33front and if they can work together and continue making this gap bigger they could be a really
13:38dangerous uh dangerous duo to let away inside 40 to go and inside about a kilometer from the top of
13:45this uh climb which is the final climb of the day there is a long ramp down a short little
13:50drag but
13:51not a particularly long one and then that takes them down to a further uh descent down to within 16
13:56kilometers at the finish line that's a way to go now look at this this is the overall race leader
14:01even evan sosa is in a bit of problem here he's got uh well a bit of daylight to cover
14:07he's got a
14:07teammate coming back to him that's uh yvonne ruiz ruiz has a little look over his shoulder dutiful and
14:13attentive but this is a a surprising situation developing here for evan sosa moments in attention
14:19or the legs not quite there today yeah it's hard to know what could have happened here i'd say
14:23maybe being a bit further back in the peloton didn't help matters but it might also just be the
14:27toll of five days of stage racing catching up to him and uh ahead of tomorrow's queen stage it's the
14:33last thing he'll want yeah a lot of pressure on evan sosa with the turquoise jersey of overall race
14:39leadership on his shoulders but he's trying to recover here as they roll around a couple of uh
14:45dropped riders still a bit of daylight between themselves and the rest of this group this group
14:49fracturing on the climb contrasting gears isn't it as evan sosa on the small ring it's a bigger gear
14:57being churned by his uh his teammate yvonne ruiz meanwhile look at that crocodile formation up to
15:03the top of this climb the distribution of uh of points will be made looks as if potentially indeed
15:10it is uh yana gear i think has scooped that one again so useful hall of points for him today
15:15he claimed top points of both climbs has now moved into um what the top three or four riders in
15:21that
15:22uh king of the mountains classification but i think he's thinking perhaps more about trying to
15:27infiltrate something a little bit special yeah absolutely he's probably seeing how well jordan
15:32jagat is pushing and thinking let me sit on his wheel and see what kind of result i can get
15:37out of a
15:37day like today especially seeing the distance that they're putting between the peloton and even sosa
15:43they're obviously riding at a super hard pace sosa's in trouble sosa is in trouble here he's out the
15:48back again and he hasn't quite managed to put that one together up and over the top of that climb
15:53still ruiz is continuing to encourage his race leading teammate to hang on in there and plenty of
16:00time to fix this one over the top of the climb and there's a long long way to go from
16:03here but the
16:04riders on the front particularly total energy sitting third overall remember with brujar and an opportunity
16:11perhaps to really deal a hammer blow now it's uh it's not a completely catastrophic situation here
16:18for even sosa but nonetheless this is sort of danger signals really for his general classification
16:24ambitions yeah and a team like harrow who are putting on the front here will love to hear that
16:29even sosa is in a bit of difficulty will give them a chance to claw back the 13 seconds that
16:34said berwick
16:35is down in second place on gc so they'll be doing their best to make sure that they keep pushing
16:40keep
16:40the pace really high in the peloton second place sebastian berwick's in the red jersey the red
16:45mountains jerseys put two teammates on the front he's sitting about 10th wheel in that group and
16:50sitting pretty at the moment meanwhile even sosa still not quite on it's uh it's tantalizingly close
16:56and it looks as if ruiz is going to close the gap here should be okay a couple of riders
17:00maybe to uh to
17:01assist looks a bit like submitio the cofidus rider has uh has rolled through to assist also willing to to
17:09contribute i think that could have been mark stewart who was in the early break now finds himself off
17:13the back and now finds himself how quickly things can change on this mountain yeah absolutely and
17:18just having a moment of weakness like maybe what even sosa had there it can really change the whole
17:23race for you and he might have just been behind a wheel that left a gap and all of a
17:27sudden you're
17:28left chasing for five ten minutes and it will be energy he really would have wanted to save for
17:32tomorrow yeah sosa is he's on the river doesn't he's absolutely pell-mell to stay in the wheel of
17:40mark stewart who managed to grab a bag at the feed zone close to the top of the hill meanwhile
17:44piling
17:45on the cold on the front is the astana squad they clearly have uh big ambitions today and a big
17:50agenda and multiple representation in this somewhat thinned out peloton the peloton nothing like as big as
17:56it was at the outset of today's race and well it's the astana squad that believed that they can deliver
18:02something special yeah astana are really pulling on the front here and they've got that peloton really
18:07pulled out in the line and you'd think that they're probably working for for their sprinter davide
18:13ballerini who i'm assuming might have made it over that couple of climbs today with them yeah he looked
18:18good didn't he on the climb just looking for others to contribute to the pacemaking but safely in there
18:24we believe at the moment is davide ballerini looking for another top 10 finish maybe a little bit more
18:31than that for the much uh much traveled italian all-rounder now the team picnic post nl inside
18:4210 kilometers of the day remaining and they've got casper van uden number 26 where he needs to be
18:47number two is davide ballerini the astana man has certainly survived this group and the astana squad
18:53have plenty of reason to to invest in his potential to convert for a glorious victory for the astana team
19:01today levgon of just in front of him behind cc rider muller brahan yeah and it would have been big
19:09work
19:09on behalf of the picnic post nl team and the xcss diana team to get their sprinters over those climbs
19:15and
19:15to make sure that they were coming into the sprint of today feeling comfortable uh so really great team
19:21right there from both teams casper van uden looking for his and indeed his team's first victory of the
19:27year down towards the concluding moments inside three kilometers remaining and a big charge on the
19:34front for the mbh squad they've got martin buszynski sitting in the in the line at the moment stefano
19:39aldani is uh is freelancing by the looks of things for the carrera squad the team picnic post nl team
19:45have no less than four riders to assist casper van uden in his bid for glory this hairpin bend is
19:52the final
19:54bend in the road the final impediments to the straight line progress of the riders to the finish
19:59line today yeah and that would have been a really big fight for a position coming into that 180 bend
20:04in the road and you can see that the mbh bank team took it really well they're out there leading
20:09the
20:09peloton uh with xcs astana following close behind and the whole picnic post nl team really lined out
20:15behind that modern adventure port cycling also trying to uh to move up we see representation of the
20:21borgesport pellet bh team they've got cesar matthias where he needs to be at least where he hopes he
20:27needs to be at any rate penial ver perhaps for team palti visit malta the left-hand side of picture
20:33in
20:33those red shorts white jerseys green sleeves the stana team now starting to assemble ballerini
20:39in in position and well is he in position is he where he needs to be at the moment he's
20:44on his own
20:45he's got muller brown just behind him and as we race under the kite into the final thousand meters
20:50team picnic post nl will have the honors of leading this one out they've still got three riders
20:54in front of kasper van huden looking good ballerini has got the wheel of the uh of the dutchman and
20:59ballerini looking to time his run to absolute perfection bardiani as well what uh what chance
21:05have they got as they put zvekov into prime position now waiting to launch 500 to go ballerini
21:12finds himself a little bit squeezed out of it so it's kasper van huden third in line
21:16uh march and buschinski sitting on his wheel dvetkov is waiting to launch as well as the
21:21istana team looking to put their lead outs into position on the right hand side of the road here
21:26comes ballerini up on the rails on the left hand side van huden is on the tail of a teammate
21:30and about
21:31to come off his wheel so it's one-on-one for stage honors here as ballerini gets just over a
21:35bike length
21:35advantage on the team picnic post nl man buschinski in position as well it's ballerini running out of gas
21:41here here comes kasper van huden through to the line for the team picnic post nl squad
21:44pushinski off his wheel but he's not going to get there it's kasper van huden that's going to get
21:48the victory let's see what that means to him it's a sensational success on stage five for the team
21:55picnic post nl squad first victory of the season for kasper van huden and that is a source of ecstasy
22:02and relief in equal measure for the team picnic post nl team as kasper van huden delivers a slam dunk
22:09victory it's more clenched fist celebration as he arrives at his team helper and well well there's
22:17a that's a that's a massive result for kasper van huden and a huge result for the team picnic post
22:22nl team after a really really great lead out yeah absolutely they worked together so well you could
22:27see it from about two three k out how they all found each other and just moved up that peloton
22:32in
22:32a real solid line and to be able to deliver and give back to his teammates at the end of
22:36the day and to
22:37all of the staff i'm sure that's exactly what it's all about for him yeah they'll be partying tonight
22:42i think the disco lights are going to be on in the van and back to the hotel after that
22:45one
22:46yeah and a great prep as well ahead of uh the giro coming up so you can see it here
22:51how it all
22:52transpired ballerini goes for a long one looked to catch out the team picnic post and else just for
22:58a moment but in effect uh provided a nice leader yeah absolutely and the way that kasper van huden
23:04saw that happening he just jumped onto ballerini's wheel and then got in the slipstream and use it
23:09to his advantage to take this incredible win pacinski gets up and over ballerini who's also swamped by
23:16others in the uh in the dash to the line spec off i think potentially getting up for the final
23:23podium
23:23position but no doubt whatsoever but kasper van huden would claim success in the presidential cycling
23:32tour of turkey stage five
23:41delighting khmer for the dutch registered team with their dutch sprinter and as you say off to
23:48the first grand tour of the season in giro d'italia yeah so taking the win the week before will
