Team dsm-firmenich PostNL made it back-to-back wins at the Tour of Türkiye, and claim their third victory of the week so far, with an incredible 1-2 finish on stage five of the race with Tobias Lund Andresen and Fabio Jakobsen.

Continuing their exceptional form, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL aimed for more sprint success today as they rolled out of the start town. Ensuring a controllable breakaway went clear, the team helped set the pace early on before other squads took over as they looked to push the pace on the ascents. The bunch didn’t split though and the orange-striped squad moved forward en masse as they approached the final five kilometres. Aiming to sprint with Jakobsen as finisher, it was an incredibly hectic finale as the road twisted and turned on the downhill, so when seemingly a little out of position the call came on the radio from Jakobsen for Lund Andresen to go for it. Using great tactical awareness, Lund Andresen let a few riders in front of him so he didn’t open the sprint too early; and in the end this put Jakobsen almost back onto his wheel. Launching with incredible speed to the line, Lund Andresen came past everyone while Jakobsen followed perfectly, locked-in on in him. With the finish gantry almost overhead Jakobsen sat up first to celebrate, just before Lund Andresen did the same; rounding out a brilliant day for Team dsm-firmenich PostNL.
