Christian Bagatin (MBH Bank CSB Telecom Fort) took a surprise victory on the Queen stage of the Tour of Turkey, holding off the charging GC battle to win atop the 21km climb to Feslikan as Sebastian Berwick (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) climbed into the race lead.

The Italian was part of a large breakaway early in the day that started the final climb with a hefty lead, and whilst every other rider fell away and was caught by the chasing peloton, Bagatin took advantage of the head start to grab victory away from the GC riders.
