Notes
- ^ a b Stage 1, originally covering 167.3 kilometres (104.0 mi) from Nevşehir to Ürgüp, was initially cancelled due to heavy snow storms.[8] However, hours later, race officials organized an alternate route for the stage in and around Konya, which then became the host of the first two stages. This new route was essentially a shorter version of the route for stage 2, except the race would turn east onto the D696 highway instead of heading south to take on a longer loop as they would for the second stage.[9]
