Irish rider Sam Bennett has gotten his career with new team NetApp-Endura off to a flying start at the Tour of Qatar today.
He took 14th on the stage on a day when the field was decimated by crosswinds.
And a 1 second time bonus picked up at a sprint point early in the stage saw him placed 6th overall and leader of the young riders' classification.
You'll see the last 3km of the race in the clip above, and a report on the stage elsewhere on the site.
