The Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye was first held in 1963, and in 2025 it will celebrate its 60th edition. The race, sponsored from the beginning by the presidency of the country, features 8 stages with several opportunities for sprinters and two mountain summit finishes.

 
Route

Of the eight stages that make up the race, 4 are categorized as flat by the organization, but up to 6 could end in some kind of sprint. Only stages 4 and 6 feature summit finishes, so the general classification will likely be decided on those two days.
