Career

Spurch won the Overall at the 1995 Tour de Pologne, however at the time the race was for amateurs unlike in the 2020's where it is a UCI WorldTour event.
At the 1999 Tirreno–Adriatico Spruch came close to his third professional win when favorites for the stage Nicola Minali and Mario Cipollini crashed in the final 75 metres. Unfortunately Spruch was edged out by Steven de Jongh.
The Biggest non-victory of Spurch's career was finishing second at the Road race of the 2000 UCI Road World Championships. Spurch was in the final bunch chasing down Michele Bartoli who had attacked with less than 1km to go. The bunch caught Bartoli just before the line with Spruch tucked in behind Romāns Vainšteins, he could not sprint past the Latvian who took gold.
