Solid teamwork and a fast, late sprint helped Britain's Ben Turner clinch victory in the toughest stage of the 2025 Tour de Pologne on Tuesday. But if delighted with his first WorldTour triumph, the 26-year-old understandably had far more mixed feelings regarding how the race itself had played out.
At 15 kilometres from the finish in Walbrzych in southern Poland, the stage was suspended for 15 minutes following a massive crash on a fast downhill. A three-rider break and bunch were made to wait as organisers decided what action to take, given there were several injured riders, including race leader Paul Lapeira (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale).
