Elbow fracture puts Ben Turner's cycling plans on hold

Despite his anticipation for the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad race, Ben Turner's quest to reach the finish line was tragically cut short when he suffered a severe crash prior to reaching the halfway mark, forcing him to retire prematurely from the competition.

The hospital's assessment revealed that Turner had incurred an elbow fracture as a result of the crash. “Photographs at a local hospital have shown a fracture in his left elbow,” INEOS Grenadiers writes on social media.

He was expected to participate in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, but he was not included in the current lineup due to his recent injury. "He will not be at the start of Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne tomorrow." At this point, there is no indication of when he will be able to race again.
