An unlucky cyclist was taken to hospital for his injuries after smashing into a barrier at high speed during a sprint to the finish line.
The crash took place at the end of the fifth stage of the Tour of Turkey. Edward Planckaert was one of those looking to push for the finish line as the leaders entered the final kilometre of the race.
The Belgian rider was closest to the barriers on the left side of the peloton as he drifted back and moved alongside a group of four other riders. They were all shoulder-to-shoulder and got a little too close to each other as they wound up for the final sprint.
