New champion Daryl Impey crashes badly but survives dramatic finale
By Jean-François Quénet in Alanya, Turkey
 |
Daryl Impey won the 45th Presidential Tour of Turkey but he didn't enjoy the post-race celebrations due to injuries suffered in a crash with 800 metres to go of the final stage. Impey remained on the ground for 20 minutes before getting back on his bike to cross the finish line. He was taken to the hospital in Alanya where the doctors reported a fracture of the third disc of his lumbar vertebra, a micro-fracture of his neck, facial trauma, a few broken teeth and a deep cut in his lips.
His remaining four teammates Paolo Longo Borghini, Diego Caccia, Giampaolo Cheula and Patrick Calcagni and his directeur sportif Alberto Volpi went on stage to receive on Impey's behalf the yellow and green jerseys.
"It's very difficult to celebrate a win in these circumstances," said Caccia.
"It was a nasty sprint," Longo Borghini explained. "There wasn't any respect for anybody. Some riders tried to pass where there was no space for it."
The spectacular crash overshadowed the bunch sprint win of Sebastian Siedler of Vorarlberg-Corractec. "I'm very happy with this win but also with not having crashed," the German explained. "I even sprinted a little bit in the wind to avoid taking any risks. I had chosen to stay on the wheel of [stage 3 winner] André Schulze and that was a good decision."
With 800 metres to go, former track sprinter Theo Bos (Rabobank Continental) put his right hand on Impey's shoulder and caused the crash. The panel of UCI commissaires watched the TV replay several times but chose not to take action against Bos for his involvement in the accident as it was unclear whether or not he did it aggressively.
Earlier in the race, the commissaires disqualified Wim van Huffel for hanging on to a car following a crash in the breakaway group caused by a dog crossing the road.
Despite the dramatic circumstances, the 45th Tour of Turkey has seen the birth of a champion. There will be more to be seen from Impey at other races when he'll have recovered from this spectacular and painful crash. It's also the first top three result for Malacarne who is another champion in the making.
How it unfolded
After 12 kilometres, 15 riders broke clear: Delio Fernandez (Xacobeo Galicia), Volodymyr Zagorodny (Lampre), Thomas Vedel Kvist (Quick Step), Gianluca Mirenda (ISD), Matthias Russ (Milram), Wolfgang Murer (Elk Haus), Wim Van Huffel (Vorarlberg-Corractec), Frantisek Kloucek (PSK Whirlpool), Oleg Chzuzhda, Francisco Pacheco Torres and Sergio Dominguez (Contentpolis-Ampo), Alessandro Donati (Acqua e Sapone), Zakkari Dempster (CC Bourgas), Massimo Demarin (Loborika) and Roger Beuchat (Neotel).
They reached a maximum lead of 2:32 with 40 kilometres to go. When the teams of the sprinters started speeding up at the front of the peloton 27 kilometres before the end the gap was quickly reduced. The 14 riders in the lead - after Van Huffel crashed because of a dog and was kicked out of the race for hanging on to a car - were caught with five kilometres to go.
Four crashes occurred in the last two kilometres, one of them caused by Theo Bos which affected race leader Daryl Impey.
Sebastian Siedler of Vorarlberg-Corractec won the sprint ahead of Michael Van Staeyen (Rabobank) and André Schulze (PSK Whirlpool). Impey was declared the winner of the 45th Presidential Tour of Turkey.
