One month following elbow fracture, Ben Turner out of action once again as he fractures forearm in Tour of Flanders crash

Ben Turner is one of the riders in the peloton with the least luck over this spring. He's crashed and suffered a broken elbow at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, but managed to return in time for the big goals of the spring. However, the INEOS Grenadiers is once again out with injury as he crashed out of the Tour of Flanders.
Caught up in the mass crash before the first ascent of the Oude Kwaremont, Turner was one of the worst affected. He had recently returned to racing at the E3 Saxo Classic still with medical stripes over his former injury. He had shown good form in support of Filippo Ganna, and was an outsider for Flanders. His race ended before the climbs however, as he took a tumble and following a trip to the hospital he has been confirmed to suffer a radial fracture to the left arm.

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
