Short steep day yesterday so got s bit of a rest. Today is a long big climb day to Zonguldak. Good weather so far.
I can’t seem to separate these two etaps but etap 6 was another tough 500m climb followed by a very hilly route to Bartin giving a 1250m day over 72km. Etap 6 was the end of this stage.
