At the end of the stage, the course kicks up again with a 4.5% incline for the final 2 km. This could be the most interesting of the eight stages with some hilly scenery and one of the few none sprinter finishes. See the race summary table (r) for the stage profile, map and timetable. — Steve

2011 Tour of Turkey Race Preview
April 20 update: The Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey has only recently gained the attention of the cycling world which for many of it's previous 46 editions languished in obscurity. In 2008, it was upgraded from 2.2 to 2.1 status and now it's a 2.HC event. Last year, Giovanni Visconti won the event which gives you an idea of the type of rider this event is suited for. There is now a tradition of daily live video on Eurosport and this year we'll have daily big photos... so I present you with our first Tour of Turkey Live Dashboard. (In the past we've just posted links to highlights). I must say though, the official site has one of the best race event sites on the entire calendar.There are eight stages in this race starting on the Aegean Sea (west coast of Turkey) in Istanbul and then working south to Alanya on the Mediterranean Sea. The route is a mix of rolling and hilly stages but nothing too difficult. Other than stage 4 there are no uphill finishes and there are no time-trials. Stage 4 has a 5% incline for the final 2 km.
