Presidential Cycling Tour Turkey Stage 5

2008-04-19 1

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.
