And green jersey in front of rainbow jersey.
Rather unique that they're two different guys.
He said it took him a long time to get there. He had a good start on the journeySam Bennett actually gives really great interviews. He's open and honest, insightful rather than the usual 'super happy, the team were great'. Congratulations!

3 sprinters walking away with 2 stages this year.Very clever riding from Bennett, sliding down from Morkov’s wheel to Stuyven’s and then Pedersen’s. A combination of a super strong leadout and wheel surfing skills. Usually you only get to see one or the other.
Two stages, Green Jersey, this year’s top dog sprinter.
Would’ve been nice if Pedersen could’ve had a few more weeks in rainbows to get a classics win or something in the jersey. It feels like his “reign” has been completely shut down.
Thought of that and checked before the race. How many times has it happened? I know Hinault won in yellow one year (82?) It feels like not many times, what with the green usually belonging to someone who picks up at least some points on some harder stages, and some other sprinter just being that little bit fresher into Paris.Well done to Sam Bennett! First rider since Cavendish in 2011 to win the last stage in green.

And suddenly he's relatable to me.Gotta love Pogacar for his sincerity: "I don't really celebrate my birthdays"...
