Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkiye 2026

The Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkiye 2026 runs eight stages from April 26 to May 3 across the Turkish coast and Anatolian plateau. The ProSeries race draws a mix of GC riders and stage hunters on selective terrain.

The route shifts between coastal roads and high-altitude interior, mixing flat sprint stages with mountain finishes in warm conditions that test recovery.

Emanuel Buchmann and Victor Lafay headline the confirmed riders. The startlist is still building as the race approaches.
