Patience and practice nets Kittel first leader's jersey at Tour of Turkey

A year on from riding his first Presidential Tour of Turkey without even coming close to a win and Marcel Kittel has already put his stamp on the sprinter's field by taking a clear victory on Stage 1 at the eight-stage race. The win along the flat finish in Alanya was the big German's fourth for the year and he's not planning on taking a back seat for the rest of the race - he's there for more and the team will look to do the same tomorrow when he lines up in the race leader's blue jersey.
