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.
