Editorial note

Race-week watch lane

Spoiler-safe post-finish context for the May 3 Ankara finale.

For Sunday’s spoiler-safe lane, use the race guide timings and the official stages hub rather than the Matsport feed. The Ankara circuit has moved into the post-finish window, so the safe page keeps the 105.2 km route, timing, map, and profile context only; the full desk carries the official live-results picture for the finale and overall classification.
