Bouhanni hospitalised after crashing into spectator in Tour of Turkey

Nacer Bouhanni's Tour of Turkey came to an end on Monday after the Arkéa-Samsic rider crashed into a spectator during stage 2.

In a dramatic video posted on Twitter, a man is seen walking on the course with his back to the oncoming peloton. Spectators on the sidewalk shout at him in alarm before another fan in bright yellow rushes to pull the man off the road.

It was too late, however, and Mirco Maestri (Eolo-Kometa), coming between the two pedestrians, crashed first, sending both to the ground. Behind him, Bouhanni, teammate Kevin Ledanois, and Manuel Peñalver (Burgos-BH) crashed hard.
