Victor Langellotti (Burgos-BH) snatched victory on stage 6 of the Tour of Turkey, attacking out of the group of favourites in the final 400 metres and catching Giulio Pellizzari (Green Project-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè) before sprinting to the win.
Langellotti was too strong on the final push to the line up the climb to Meryem Ana Zirve, holding off race leader Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Qazaqstan) for his second-ever professional victory.
Lutsenko was not worried on the final ascent, allowing first Domen Novak (UAE Team Emirates) and then Pellizzari to escape up the road as neither posed a threat to his gap on GC and instead opting to mark any moves made by Bora-Hansgrohe through Ben Zwiehoff who sat second overall before the start.
The Kazakh rider extended his overall lead over Zwiehoff with the bonus seconds and four-second gap gained on the line, pushing his gap to a 26-second advantage with two stages remaining.
