The Sam Bennett Discussion Thread

Stage 19 will matter more. 70 points on the line there.

Even if Sagan wins the intermediate on Tuesday uncontested, he’s pretty much going to have to beat Bennett Mano-a-Mano in more than one or two sprints to win green.

Sagan should be able to out score Bennett on that intermediate, but it’s very hard to see it being 20 - 0. Bora would have to prevent a break, drop Bennett, but not go so fast that they effectively are attacking, not then have DQS chase back, not get done over by Trentin, not have attackers go over the top of them etc. Possible, but very hard to pull off.

A characteristically modest interview in which he flat out states that in a group like yesterday’s he’s the least strong https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/sam-bennett-nears-green-jersey-victory-in-tour-de-france/

Top dog. Days for a sprinter don’t come much better than winning on the Champs Elysees in Green

If CN says it's so, it's so.

Interesting that he has a bad one on one with a lot of riders but better when they are all together

That's too give them a false sense of security.
