CyclingWednesday, 07 June 2023 at 15:05
Few riders in 2023 can count themselves as unlucky as the INEOS Grenadiers' Ben Turner. That run of unfortune hasn't continued at the Critérium du Dauphiné with the 24-year-old abandoning the race.
Crashing on the stage 4 individual time-trial, Turner was unable to remount and finish the race. Although the injuries sustained by the Brit are at this time still unclear, his hopes of making a Tour de France now seem to be up in the air.

- The only thing I know about Ayuso is that he wobbles in big races all the time. He's young though and not everyone develops at the rate of Tadej. On UAE he will probably be a super domestique only.awp29-05-2025
- If the mistake is made by many, that doesn't mean it's not a mistake. Obviously, pure objectivity doesn't exist, but if you're a communicator you should at least try instead falling into fanatic sentimentality.

- This lad needs a new team and a new enviroment. You can only surmise from what you read online. He comes over as hard work. He is ambitious and often shows flashes of brilliance. At the present time though - injuries aside, he doesn't seem capable of holding on to GC winning form in the hands of UAE.Cyclingsbestfan29-05-2025
- A pat on the back would be easier than a cake mid race. While I am not a huge Ayuso fan I do have some empathy for the crushing disappointment the guy must be feeling. Has an amazing spring. Builds towards main goal of season. Performs well but is eclipsed by younger team mate. Suffers a massive crack. Trys to soldier on. Ends up abandoning race with a whimpermobk29-05-2025
- With the amazing riders Visma has, you would not think they would need to demean their rivals to boost their morale, but they often do it. It leaves a sour taste.Hill3329-05-2025
- Totally agree. He did way better than could realistically be imagined, problem was, Pog also more or less. In the end the difference isn’t insurmountable and had there been no Pog, EVERYONE normal would have been full of admiration that he’d won it after his spring. Don’t know many riders to come back from so low to so high so fast.Mistermaumau29-05-2025

- Commentator, not journalist and since when don’t sports commentators have the right to be fans or show preference for their country’s participants? Even journalists (and supposedly unbiased newspapers) tend to focus on their countries, why else does someone like Raducanu get more articles in the anglo press than Sinner and Djoko combined?Mistermaumau29-05-2025
- Uae never said a single word against Jonas, only admiration. I couldn't say the same about Visma managers, I still remember the unpleasant "put Tadej on his knees". La classe non è acqua.maria2024202429-05-2025
