Posted by Editoress on 04/30/11

Results from the 7th stage of the Presidential Tour of Turkey won by Andrea Guardini (Farnese Vini - Neri Sottoli). Top finisher for Spidertech was Pat McCarty in 44th at the same time. Top Canadian, Svein Tuft (Spidertech), finished 45th also same time

No Change in GC Leader after Stage 7

After six days of mountains, breakaways, and lead changes every day, Alexander Efimkin (TT1-Sanofi Aventis) became the first leader to hold onto the Turquoise Jersey for more than one stage in today's seventh stage. Andrea Guardini (Fanese Vini-Neri Sottoli) became the first two stage winner, with a fierce acceleration in the final 100 metres of the field sprint. Canada's Team SpiderTech rolled in with the bunch. (Note: Video interviews with Svein Tuft and Will Routley will be posted shortly)

The 138 kilometre stage, from Tekirova to Manavgat, followed the south coast of Turkey around the Gulf of Antalya, with a few rolling climbs, but nothing to break up the field. A group of four riders broke clear after 20 kilometres, but Efimkin's team, and those of the sprinters, did not allow them to gain much more than two minutes, and they were reeled with about 35 kilometres to go.

Garmin-Cervelo tried to stir things up in the crosswinds coming off the Mediterranean, managing to briefly split the peloton into two echelons with 30 kilometres to go, but Saxo Bank SunGard had missed the move with their entire team, and pulled everything back together.

In the final false flat sprint, on a sweeping left curve, Green Jersey holder Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre-ISD) and Andre Greipel (Omega Pharma-Lotto) both launched early, Petacchi in the bunch on the inside of the curve, and Greipel wide, both both faltered in the final 150 metres, with Guardini launching off Petacchi's wheel. Kenny van Hummel (Skil-Shimano) just pipped Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Cervelo) at the line for second. Greipel took fourth just ahead of Petacchi, who remains the leader in the Points competition.

There was no change in the GC, with Efimkin still holding a 1:13 lead over Andrey Zeits (Astana) and Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) at 1:33.
