The rider of Astana Qazaqstan Team Max Kanter takes a victory at the second stage of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye.
The second day of the Turkish stage race started in Kemer and finished after 190 kilometers in Kaş. The stage had several steep climbs on the route and an uphill sprint in the final in which Max Kanter left no chances to his contenders and executed a perfect sprint. That is the first professional victory for the 26-year-old Max Kanter.
“The plan was to go for the sprint with me today and the team completely believed in me. Big shout-out to my teammates, they supported me very well today, especially Ballerini in the final. Davide just came back to racing after an injury and did a perfect job leading me out, and I am glad that I could finish it off. I feel very emotional, it is my first professional victory. I was riding so long chasing this win and I am very happy to finally achieve it”, – said Max Kanter.
