Italian neo-pro Federico Zurlo (Unitedhealthcare) proved his potential in the first stage of the Tour of Turkey where he made it into the break, won all three sprints and secured himself the Turkish Beauty Sprint and mountains jerseys.
"Before the stage, the team asked me to get into the breakaway and to target as many classifications as possible," he said. "I won all three intermediate sprints of the day, so I couldn’t have done any better. I felt good, and the journey to Turkey from my home village, Tezze sul Brenta, near Bassano del Grappa in the province of Vicenza in Italy, was pretty straighforward. It’s my first time in this country, in my first year as a pro. Of the competitions I’m leading, I think that the Beauties of Turkey Sprints gives me the best chance of winning a jersey at the end of the week, so I’ll see in the coming days if I get the chance to get into another breakaway."
