"My job and my life are to try to win. It's important for the team."

Those were the words of Astana's Valerio Agnoli after stage four at the Tour of Turkey. Agnoli and four other riders escaped into a late breakaway on the final climb of the stage to counter-attack the sprinters' teams.

Astana Pro Team and the rest of the peloton raced in light crosswinds over several short climbs before the short and quick stage finished in the spectacular Turkish seaside resort ciy of Marmaris. Agnoli and his breakaway companions were caught in the final kilometers of the stage, and finished in the same time as stage winner Andrei Greipel of Germany.
