Bennett signs with AG2R

Carrick-On-Suir cyclist Sam Bennett has found a new team ahead of the 2024 season.

He joins Decathalon AG2R LA Mondiale having parted company with Bora Hansgrohe.

Illness and injury blighted his year in 2023 with just three stage wins - two of those coming at the Tour of Romania and the other on the opening day in Argentina.

The 2020 Tour De France Green jersey winner will be hoping to get back to the biggest race in cycling next year with his new French team.
