Iván Sosa (Kern Pharma) won stage 3 of the Tour of Turkey, moving into the overall lead of the race atop the summit finish in Kiran.

The former Movistar and Ineos Grenadiers racer showed the best climbing legs on the tough final climb, getting the better of Sebastian Berwick (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), who finished in second place, nine seconds down.

The key moment came just under 5km from the top when Kamiel Bonneu (Solution Tech Nippo Rali) launched an attack. Breuillard was the first to respond, but Sosa soon jumped on board, and soon went past both of them, igniting a solo move that would take him all the way to the stage win and the leader’s jersey.
