Sam Bennett's move to AG2R Citroën seems to be a done deal

Sam Bennett is set to be announced as an AG2R Citroën rider in the coming days. First reported by Ciro Scognamiglio from La Gazzetta dello Sport in mid-August as a likely deal, GCN can reveal that the contract between the rider and his new team will stretch out over a two-year period.

Bennett is currently racing the Tour of Britain with Bora-Hansgrohe but a departure from the German outfit looked highly likely in late June after the rider was snubbed from their Tour de France squad. Bennett was also not selected for the Vuelta a España - a move that left him without a Grand Tour for the entire 2023 season.

With Bora-Hansgrohe also making room for rival sprinter Sam Welsford from dsm-firmenich, the time was right for Bennett to move on after two years and a second stint at the team.
