At the Tour of Turkey, Adam Yates of ORICA-GreenEdge left his mark on the race in his first year as a professional, claiming the leader's jersey from Rein Taaramae with one stage remaining.
Marianne Vos took a stage win in Luxembourg, but her teammate, Anna Van der Breggen won the overall. Alexander Kristoff won the Rund um der Finanzplatz in Frankfurt.
