Hilly stage from Nevşehir to Ürgüp covered in spring snow
The opening stage of the Tour of Turkey has been cancelled
after heavy snow covered the elevated hills between Nevşehir and Ürgüp in central Turkey that were due to host Sunday s first stage.
Riders awoke to heavy snow falls on Saturday and with more wintery conditions expected, race organisers were forced to cancel the stage.
The 167.3km stage was due to climb up to 1400 metres five times from a start point of 1200m before finishing in Ürgüp but the weather conditions made racing impossible.
The race caravan will now transfer southwest to Konya in the hope the weather improves. However stage 2 also starts at an altitude of 1000 metres, with climbs reaching 1480 metres.
