The presence of the president of the Republic of Turkey, Abdullah Gül, gave the Turkish national tour a hint of greatness as his home town of Alanya organized a prestigious venue for him to congratulate the winners: David Garcia Dapena of Karpin-Galicia for the overall classification of the 44th Tour of Turkey and Maximiliano Richeze for the seventh and final stage.

The Argentinian sprinter has put an end to the Italian domination that remained undisputed in the first six stages, but he scored a fourth win for his Italian outfit CSF-Navigare. "I'm very happy to be a winner today after coming second yesterday," Richeze commented. "In the last meters of the sprint, I could feel my rivals ready to pass me. I might have started sprinting a bit early and I've won – not by much, but I've won."

CSF gave Richeze an excellent lead-out but they were a little bit disturbed by an acceleration from two Milram riders who tried to anticipate the sprint. In fact, Marco Velo and Alberto Ongarato had no job as lead out men since their boss Alessandro Petacchi felt too sick for sprinting. "Even before the start of the stage, I decided that I wouldn't sprint today. I've been close to pulling out of the race a few times because I couldn't breathe and I was coughing on my bike," Petacchi explained after passing the finishing line in dead last position. Therefore, he avoided any trouble in the crash that took Danilo Hondo down once again, just like in Le Tour de Langkawi after the massive accident in Kuantan.

"Velo and Ongarato surprised us when they anticipated the sprint," double stage winner Matteo Priamo described. "But I managed to get back on with [Tiziano] Dall'Antonia and Richeze on my wheel." In a rush to do well, Richeze started sprinting with 200 meters to go.

"It's great to win the last stage here again after the last stage of the Circuit de la Sarthe in France last week," Richeze said. "The Tour of Turkey is a beautiful one. It's pretty well organized. We've been to wonderful places. I hope to come back to this race next year."

David Garcia Dapena will also keep a great memory of Turkey. The 30-year-old Spaniard took in Alanya the second win of his professional career after the Tour of the Future in Portugal in 1999, the year after he started his career in this country with LA Pecol. For the first time last year, he joined a Spanish team. At Karpin-Galicia, he was a very esteemed helper for Ezequiel Mosquera who came fifth in the 2007 Vuelta a Espana. Despite his devotion to his captain, Garcia Dapena managed to finish 23rd. It means he's a very solid and consistent rider.

"Having done the Vuelta al País Vasco last week in support of David Herrero gave me the right condition for the Tour of Turkey," he explained. "Since I took the yellow jersey in Marmaris at the end of stage three, everything has worked as I hoped. Today I was only afraid of crashing. At the end, I even intended to take part in the final sprint as I was almost at the head of the peloton in order to avoid the danger. I'm not a pure sprinter but I was close to competing against them."

"It's an enormous satisfaction for me to win a national Tour," he pursued. "This win will give me the serenity for the coming races. Maybe with no more pressure I'll win more. I'll prepare for the Vuelta a España again. It's our team's main goal for the year."

The 44th Tour of Turkey has had a valuable winner. The final words of president Gül on stage are encouraging for the organization of the event. "Cycling is the kind of sport that shows our country to the world," he said. The fabulous coastal landscapes alongside the Bosphorus Strait, the Agean and Mediterranean Seas will never be forgotten by the participants of the newly promoted 2.1 race.

How it unfolded

Soon after the start in Antalya, many attacks created a lot of action in the race. Mitsubishi-Jartazi was very active with Grégory Habeaux and Mathieu Criquiélion breaking clear but none of the sprinters' teams agreed for the skirmishes to turn into a threatening breakaway.

A crash occurred after 60 kilometers. It forced Alessandro Petacchi to stop for a while. The sprinter from Milram was already riding at the back because he felt sick. He made it back to the bunch a few kilometers further.

An escape was finally formed after the only hot spot sprint of the day (km 81): Dimitri Nikandrov (Centri della Calzatura-Partizan), Fabian Schaar (Team Ista), Herrero (Extremadura) quickly got 30 seconds advantage on a bunch led by the Benfica team. As the Portuguese didn't receive any help, they stopped chasing and the gap moved up to five minutes. It went down to 2'48" with 46 km to go under the action of Silence-Lotto and Serramenti PVC-Diquigiovanni.

The three breakaway riders got caught in the streets of Alanya with 10km to go. Petacchi chose to not contest the bunch sprint. There was a big crash 200 meters before the line. Danilo Hondo (Serramenti PVC-Diquigiovanni) and Sean Lacey (Ireland) were the most injured but no fracture was reported.

Maximiliano Richeze (CSF-Navigare) won stage seven ahead of Andre Schulze (PSK-Whirlpool) and Assan Bazayev (Astana). David Garcia Dapena (Karpin Galicia) is the final winner of the 44th Presidential Tour of Turkey.
