Bennett: “There wasn’t much I could do”

Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe): “This one hurts a lot. The guys did an amazing job. The Quick-Step rider (Fabio Jakobsen) went and I couldn’t do any more. It was really hard to position myself in the final kilometres. On the last roundabout I lost many positions because I chose the wrong side. I was just fighting the whole time and, even if I put out a good speed, I sprinted from far back and there wasn’t much I could do in the final meters. I really forced this one to happen but it just didn’t go as I hoped for. I have to congratulate Fabio Jakobsen for getting this fantastic win.”
