Strong team performance on today's third stage

14 september 2024 –

Alexander Konychev defends ninth place in the overall standings! Young squad in action tomorrow Sunday at the ÖRV Road Cycling League Austria in Judendorf-Straßengel!

The third stage of the Tour of Istanbul started today in Beykoz in perfect weather conditions and ended after 114 km with a small mountain finish in Polonezköy.

Today’s stage was a continuation of the last few days. High speed right from the start, hilly terrain and numerous speed bumps in the villages.

When entering the last climb, the team riders Alexander Konychev and Lukas Rüegg were able to position themselves well so that they could tackle the climb with the best placed riders of the tour.

Alexander Konychev defends his ninth place in the overall standings with 17th place!
The overall leader of the tour Mathieu Burgaudeau (Total-Energies) wins again. Alessandro Romele (Astana Qazaqstan) and Emilien Jeannière (Total-Energies) followed in second and third place.

Alexander Konychev reaches today’s finish two seconds behind and defends his ninth place overall and will do everything he can tomorrow to consolidate or even improve on this with the support of his team mates.

Lukas Rüegg and Lukas Meiler cross the finish line with the first bigger group, just a few seconds behind.

Tomorrow’s final stage of the four-day tour over 83.6 km in and around Istanbul will once again be an affair for the sprinters.
