Sam Bennett
«I always believed I could come back.»
«We had a different plan for today, but we were able to adapt in the final and use our experience to control the situation. The team made quick decisions, and they were the right ones, which allowed me to sprint in very good conditions. We have good momentum, and I think there will be more good results to come. I'm here to win races and I hope to return to the Tour de France to show that I'm still capable of winning. I've always believed that I could come back and I'm going to continue to believe in myself.»
