Sam Bennett is about to go to war in the Giro sprints. And Paddy Power betting has ranked his chances against the other fast men in the race; what do you think?
Paddy Power has installed Sam Bennett as second favourite to win tomorrow's stage 2 at the Giro d'Italia.
Saturday’s second stage takes the riders 167km from Haifa to Tel Aviv and looks set for a sprint finish.
Elia Viviani is installed as favourite to win in the predicted, though not certain, bunch sprint.
The QuickStep man is 8/11. Bennett, of Bora-hansgrohe, is 3/1. It's a price that may be worth a punt if you're into that sort of thing.
