2022 Ineos Grenadiers

On 2 November 2021, it was announced Turner had signed for UCI WorldTeam on a two-year contract.[10] [11] His first race with the team was the Vuelta a Andalucía his role was being a Domestique for Carlos Rodríguez who ended up finishing fourth overall. In stage 3, Turner finished fourth after leading out teammate Magnus Sheffield to victory.[12]

His next set of races were the Cobbled classics where once again he was in a domestique role. In the Grand Prix de Denain Turner was part of a five man breakaway with teammates Jhonatan Narváez and Sheffield who attacked with 30 km to go but sadly were caught by the peloton with 2 km to go, with Turner finishing in 41st position.[13] [14] Gent–Wevelgem was the next race where Turner showed his good form. He managed 28th which was the best placed from his team after spending the day working for Dylan van Baarle who finished in 41st, 17 seconds behind Turner.[15] Turner made the decisive 11-man group with leader Tom Pidcock also there. His work as a domestique chasing down attacks helped Pidcock finish in 3rd position and Turner was able to hold on to finish in 8th, his first top 10 One-day result.[16] [17] Another strong performance by Turner, at the Brabantse Pijl, after working once again as a domestique this time for Sheffield he crossed the line in 4th out sprinting teammate Pidcock and his other 5 breakaway companions.[18] 35 km into Paris–Roubaix the bunch was met with cross-winds so Turner went to the front with his Ineos squad and begin to increase the pace, this caused a split with many favourites missing out. By 67 km to go the race was mostly together again except for a few riders out in front. came to the front to drive the pace in doing so caused a split which Turner and teammate van Baarle were a part of. Turner unfortunately crashed on a cobble sector and lost contact with the front bunch. He did manage to keep riding finishing in 11th 4' 30" down on winner Dylan van Baarle.[19] [20]
