Istanbul should be a good place for the season final

The Tour of Istanbul concludes the outstanding 2023 season for the professionals of Team Vorarlberg. The „squadra“ travels to the Bosphorus in its best lineup. The organizer of the first UCI 2.2 Tour over four days, issued the invitation to the team also because of the tour victory in Portugal.

The first three stages will be ridden slightly outside Istanbul. The last stage will then take place in the city of 15 million. A guaranteed impressive finish.

 

With Colin Stüssi, Lukas Meiler, Moran Vermeulen, Dominik Amann, Jon Knolle, Lukas Rüegg and Pirmin Benz, Sports Director Werner Salmen is once again asking a strong team to the starting line – with the mission to once again throw everything into the scales. Good luck guys!
