Ben Turner has reportedly agreed to leave INEOS Grenadiers for Soudal-QuickStep in 2027. His biggest result is a 2025 Vuelta a España stage win — as a last-minute Grand Tour fill-in, not as a Classics rider.
Soudal-QuickStep is chasing Turner for his cobbled Classics range, not his stage-race form: he's raced all the major Spring Classics, including a return to Paris-Roubaix after a crash, and has ten starts across Milan-San Remo, Flanders and Roubaix combined. He'd join Jasper Stuyven, Dylan van Baarle and Yves Lampaert in a squad rebuilt post-Remco Evenepoel around depth rather than a marquee name — the same logic behind the Alberto Dainese sprint signing. Whether Turner's one breakout ride translates into consistent results in a new setup is untested.
