Sam Bennett has returned to winning ways in the opening stage of the Tour of the Algarve.
The five-stage tour began with a 190 kilometre trip to Portimao in south Portugal today, with the Carrick-on-Suir man winning out today in a bunch sprint.
It’s a sixth World Tour level win of the 2021 season so far for Bennett, and is particularly impressive after a recent break from racing.
