Sam Bennett is laden down with prizes at the BinckBank Tour having won the opening two stages.
The Irishman went into the race lead yesterday after claiming the opening stage and he extended that overall lead by winning again today.
Furthermore, he holds the points classification jersey after his double stage victory.
Each of those jerseys and the stage win gets a presentation of its own at the end of the day, with prizes including the obligatory oversized cuddly toy - of which he has six so far.
He's also received three trikes as prizes, and even taken a spin around on one of them backstage (see video below), not to mention receiving a huge amount of beer.
So far his team has packed two car boots with the prizes and there are still two more stages to come that may suit him.

“After 70 km, my legs weren’t feeling the best, and so I was a bit surprised
to have pulled it off today,” he said.
“The guys supported me very well and kept me towards the front and in an
energy-saving position. In the end, I still had the legs to sprint over the
line first.
“I’m really happy with this win and if possible. I'm getting greedy, so I'd
like one more stage win here.
“We’ve had a lot of success here so far, and we’re in good form, so we’ll
see what’s possible.”
