Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey
Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey (Turkish: Cumhurbaşkanlığı Bisiklet Turu) is a professional road bicycle racing stage race held annually in Turkey. Historically the race attracted almost no attention from Europe's major cycling teams and best riders. However, its recent elevation in rankings has attracted an increasingly competitive field. From 2006 it was rated as a 2.2 event,[1] before being upgraded to 2.1 in 2008,[2] and then again to 2.HC for the 2010 edition.[3]
