GBs Turner claims first Grand Tour stage win at Vuelta

Ben Turner joined Ineos in November 2021

Great Britains Ben Turner produced a stunning sprint finish at the Vuelta a Espana to claim his first ever Grand Tour stage win.

Turner won the fourth stage of the race - a 206.7km medium mountain route from Susa to Voiron - from Belgian duo Jasper Philipsen and Edward Planckaert, who finished second and third.

The 26-year-old - a late call up to the Vuelta when Ineos team-mate Lucas Hamilton pulled out through illness - powered to victory on a long, rising finish.

"Its a crazy feeling. I really believed in myself today and trusted what I had to do," said Turner, who picked up his third win as a professional.

Frances David Gaudu, who won the third stage, leads the overall standings having finished enough places in front of Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark to take the red jersey on count-back.
