The short-lived breakaway
By the winning the first stage of the 3-stage Tour de la Provence, Sam Bennett took his first win of the season and also the overall lead.
“We came here to score our first win of the season, and we’ve done just that. We knew it was going to be a battle, and the team did a fantastic job, enabling us to get through the first difficulty in good time. The race was complicated but the wind, mainly headwind on the climbs, worked in our favour. My team-mates were exceptional and I’d like to thank them for their support. I’m delighted to be able to offer them this victory.”
-Sam Bennett (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale).
