Editorial note

Spoiler-safe archive lane

Spoiler-safe archive note for using the completed Türkiye route desk without result details.

Türkiye has moved out of live-watch mode, so the safe desk should stay on the organizer stages hub, race guide timings, and local route visuals rather than the Matsport results feed. The route archive keeps the Çeşme-to-Ankara stage sequence, maps, profiles, and timing context useful without naming stage winners, jersey leaders, or final standings; those stay on the full desk.
