the win without his team.

“It’s just about repeating the same things and also
making decisions in the final… we’re really getting to know each other, the
whole team, and we’re pretty much nailing it at the minute.”
Asked about the prospects of winning the final stage
tomorrow, Bennett laughed at the prospect of having to race again, just moments
after climbing of his bike.
“Oh, I don’t know,” he laughed. “I mean, I really want it. We’ll, for sure, go for it again, but it’s always hard. We’ll trying again.”
