Sam Bennett would like to add on to his past success at UAE Tour and Paris-Nice
CyclingFriday, 12 January 2024 at 02:30
Another in the line of riders announcing their early season racing plan is the new acquistion of Decathlon AG2R La Monidale Team - Sam Bennett. The Irish sprinter built up a solid reputation for his performances on the bike, but more recently also for troublesome relationships with team managments, which saw the 33-year-old change outfits more often than he would've probably liked over the past few years.
Joining the French World Tour team, Bennett longs for a fresh start in brand new environment. To talk about a restart of his career - that's not very likely to happen at this point, but even a big World Tour (stage) victory would be more than welcome for Bennett.
First obstacle in his quest for stage wins will be the returning 2.Pro Tour de la Provence. Next on the menu would be UAE Tour, a race that traditionally presents multiple sprinting opportunities and where Bennett won three stages already (2019 and 2021). Even greater palmares await the Irish speedster at Paris-Nice, where he had raised his hands five times in the past.
Sam Bennett's early 2024 schedule:
Tour de la Provence (February 8-11)
UAE Tour (February 19-25)
Paris-Nice (March 3-10)
Tour de la Provence (February 8-11)
UAE Tour (February 19-25)
Paris-Nice (March 3-10)

- Boring to see a generational talent in your own life time? We should all feel privileged to see it. I certainly do. I feel the same when I see other once in a life time amazing guys in other fields rewriting the record books: Magnus Carlsen in chess and Shoei Ohtani in baseball. And the way they carry themselves.. humble and respected by their peers adds to their appeal.Santiago17-12-2025
- As a current or ex crosser, you should be asking yourself 'what is VDP doing that I'm not', instead of bellyaching that he's winning everything. It's not boring for me to watch an athlete, at the pinnacle of their career, absolutely pulverised the opposition. Whether it be Tiger Woods, Usain Bolt, Roger Federer or indeed our own Tadej Pogacar. Are cyclists really such a bitter breed that we see excellence as boring? Personally, I'm in absolute awe. Here's a question for Mr Wellens, how long will it take before Thibaut Nys becomes boring, after VDP has hung up his wheels?Pogthegoat17-12-2025

- with all due respect to Welsford, what has he won to deserve the title βaceβ. he is there in many sprints, but other than some nationals and maybe a 3rd tier race, he isnβt exactly a feared sprinter in the peloton. of course with the right team he could become a winner, but is Ineos the right team? Unlike a Quick-Step, Ineos is not exactly sprinter friendly. they donβt have a track record of developing winners at sprinting.mij17-12-2025
