Carrick-on-Suir’s Sam Bennett has claimed a second ever stage victory in the Paris-Nice.

The Bora-Hansgrohe sprinter claimed today’s third stage into Moulins-Yzeure ahead of Lotto-Soudal’s Caleb Ewan and Deceuninck Quick Step’s Fabio Jakobsen.

Bennett’s last stage victory in the famous race came two years ago, and today’s win is his third stage victory over 2019.

Team Jumbo-Visma’s Dylan Groenewegen holds the overall lead, just six-seconds ahead of Team Sky’s Michal Kwiatkowski.

Bennett is 82nd on general classification.
