Ben Turner achieved his first WorldTour victory during the challenging stage of the 2025 Tour de Pologne after a 15-minute suspension due to a crash involving multiple riders, including the race leader. The race resumed with the leading group of 50 catching the break and competing in a frantic sprint finish. Despite his win, Turner expressed concern over the crash, emphasizing the tough nature of the course and the importance of rider safety. He refrained from commenting on the race organizers' decision to neutralize the stage due to the emergency.
"It was really chaos all day, it was a super hard parcours anyway, it was on from the go," Turner said about the stage with 3,500 metres of vertical climbing and multiple short, punishing ascents.
"You always just want to stay on the front on this circuit. It was really unfortunate with that massive crash but hopefully they're all ok, it looked nasty. I just hope that they're OK."
"I don't know what happened, there was ambulances involved so I can't comment on that."
"You never want to see that happen to colleagues."
