Sam Bennett had an imposing victory on his first sprint finish of the Season at Vuelta a San Juan. The Bora-Hansgrohe rider beat Michael Morkov and Giacomo Nizzolo and was very happy at the end of the finish line.

Bennett benefited from an amazing lead out work by his teammate Danny Van Poppel who lead him out in perfect conditions for the win. He also benefited from Fabio Jakobsen bad positioning due to the street obstacles present on the last kilometre.

Bora-Hansgrohe worked perfectly and team sports director Bernhard Eisel couldn't be more happy with this victory, praising not only Bennett but also the team work.

"A perfect lead out by Danny van Poppel followed by the stage win for Sam - we’re more than happy with the opening stage of this race. With the leader's jersey on our shoulders, we’re expecting quite a lot of work for tomorrow." concluded Eisel.
